<![CDATA[This research discusses the limited tools and rare temperature and heat experiments in high schools in Depok, which hinder students’ mastery of concepts and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). This study proposes a virtual laboratory with VBA Excel that utilizes existing computer lab facilities and provides an effective and efficient way to learn physics1. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model. Media and material experts validate the product, then tested by teachers and students using a tiered rating scale. The feasibility test scores from media experts are 93.61%, material experts 86.25%, and teacher responses 94.07%, with a very good interpretation. Furthermore, user trials were conducted with students, where one-on-one trials obtained a score of 90%, small group trials resulted in a score of 81.6% and field trials with a score of 81.48%. Based on the N-gain calculation, scores of 0.67 for small groups and 0.63 for field trials were obtained with moderate interpretation seen from the results of the pre-test and post-test scores calculation. Thus, it can be concluded that the virtual laboratory with VBA Excel on temperature and heat material can improve concept understanding and meet students' needs in higher-order thinking skills (HOTS).]]>
