Microplastic particles have widely polluted the environment, including water, soil, and air, and can enter the human food chain, potentially causing health problems. Therefore, effective and engaging teaching of microplastic material is crucial to enhance students' understanding, motivation, and critical thinking skills, preparing them to face complex problems in everyday life. This study aims to develop interactive learning media based on Nearpod with microplastic material to improve students' critical thinking skills in P5P2RA activities in madrasas. The research method used is research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The subjects of the study were 32 of 7th grade students at one of the MTs in Jakarta. The results showed that the critical thinking ability instrument had a validity score of 3.1, a practicality level with an average score of 2.8 (good category), an average n-gain of critical thinking skills of 0.6 (moderate category), and student response assessments with an average percentage of 77% (good category). The paired t-test results showed a p-value of 0.0007, indicating that the intervention was effective in improving students' critical thinking ability scores. Thus, interactive teaching materials based on Nearpod can be used as an effective alternative learning media, especially for microplastic material, in improving students' critical thinking skills.
