This study aims to analyze the implementation of the inquiry-based learning model to improve critical thinking skills of Grade 1 elementary school students in the topic of animals and plants within the Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subject. The scientific approach was systematically integrated to facilitate observation, questioning, reasoning, and communication based on real-life experiences. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving 28 students from an inclusive Christian elementary school in Bogor. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and formative assessments. Results showed that 70.37% of students achieved scores that met or exceeded the Minimum Mastery Criteria. The formative assessments consisted of two parts—verbal and visual tasks—which provided a comprehensive picture of students’ conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills. The inquiry approach also fostered character development, especially responsibility and care for God's creation. The study recommends the use of differentiated instruction and reflective strategies to address diverse learning needs in inclusive classroom settings.
