Abstract

Student Worksheet or LKPD is a learning tool that focuses on students activities in seeking or building knowledge on their own. It supports deep learning, which emphasizes students development in understanding scientific concepts independently during practical activities. Physics Education Technology (PhET) is a simulation developed by the University of Colorado. It includes learning simulations for subjects like physics, biology, and chemistry, suitable for both classroom learning and self-study. The advantage of PhET simulations is that they emphasize the connection between real-life phenomena and underlying scientific concepts. They support interactive and constructive learning approaches, provide feedback, and offer creative workspaces. This application can be used for free by students and teachers through Android devices, PCs, or laptops. Therefore, this study aims to create a student worksheet (LKPD) that uses PhET simulations for the topic of static fluids. The research was conducted using the 3D model: Define, Design, and Develop. The components included in this PhET-based LKPD are: (a) cover, (b) roadmap, (c) basic theory, (d) experiment activities, (e) observation of activities, (f) analysis of experiment data, (g) communicating experiment results, (h) literacy tasks, (i) evaluation, (j) summary, and (k) reference list. The validation results from media experts showed an average percentage of 94. 81%. Based on these results, the PhET-based LKPD for the topic of static fluids is considered valid and ready for further development.
