Abstract
This study aims to analyze student outcomes after learning the acid-base concept supported by PhET Simulation. The PhET simulation is used to help visualize the sub-microscopic representation of the acid-base solution. The method used is one group pre-test and post-test design with the subject this study consists of thirty high school students in the Bandung area. The research instrument used was a test that measured the ability to distinguish the strength of acid-base at the level of sub-microscopic representation, calculate the degree of ionization, the relationship of Ka to concentration, and analyze the pH of the solution. The result of this study it can be concluded that the PhET simulation can improve student learning outcomes to the level sub-microscopic representation.
