This research aims at developing a module for teaching Physics in high school. The research employs Research and Development (R&D) method with ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluation). The research ends up on the Implement stage where the researchers only validate the module to the expert for it does not require the students’ responses. The module developed by researchers is Physics Practical Module Based on Scientific Method for the Tenth Grade High School Students in the Second Semester. Validation process is based on validation from the material expert, the design expert and the language expert. The validation uses Likert scale from 1 to 5, with the scale 1 of very low to 5 of very good grades. The average validation results of the three main aspects of material or content, design and language are 4.10 or 82% and is categorized as “good” category. Thus, it can be concluded that the Physics Practical Module Based on Scientific Method for the Tenth Grade High School students in the Second Semester is appropriately to be used.

Making and testing of miniature solar systems intended for students has been carried out and specifically for special school students. The purpose of making this tool is to help the learning process in students with special needs for science materials, especially in the solar system. The solar system visual aid consists of sun with its planets, including from Mercury to Neptune. Planets were designed to move automatically. In addition, this visual aid was also made audio containing explanations for each planet and also the sun. Validation of tools is carried out by material and media experts. The results of the material validation are good. While the media validation is sufficient and received well. This audio-based solar system visual aid is good enough to be used by special school students.
