Abstract
The 21st Century Education focuses on the development of the competence in creativity, critical-thinking, collaboration and communication. Based on that reason, the argumentation can be one of the solutions to answer this issue since it facilitates the critical-thinking and communication competences. The argumentation is improved by the lesson that has the socio-scientific issue inside the teaching materials. Based on the observation, the teaching materials in Science lesson is still incomplete which has only the material collection from Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Therefore, holistically, those teaching materials has no the socio-scientific issue. This research has the purpose to develop the teaching materials for science through the plastic theme based on the argumentative skill orientation.
