At present the average score of achievement of Indonesian students in science is ranked 62 out of 69 countries evaluated. Indonesia's ranking and average score is not much different from the previous PISA survey in 2012 which was also in the low level of material mastery group. Therefore, laboratories in every school that have teaching aids in them are very necessary to conduct practicum in increasing students' understanding of a concept in science. The purpose of this study is to make a comparison between teaching aids and PhET media on the understanding of student concepts.
