AbstractScience learning is expected to be able to deliver students to meet the capabilities in the 21st century. One of the things that must be considered to change individuals who can satisfy global demands is to produce generations who have critical thinking skills that are a logical attitude in examining every belief and assumptions based on the evidence and conclusions caused. Physics lessons are considered difficult because students do not have deep thinking skills in solving physics problems. The open-ended approach provides opportunities for students to gain experience in exploring and solving problems with several techniques.
