This design pre-test post-test control group experiment was aimed to improve student’s understanding of the concept and to minimize their misconceptions on the topic of Temperatur and Heat. The subjects of this research were selected ‘using cluster random sampling from High School students in Gorontalo. The instruments used to collect the data are multiple choice tests. The data were analysed using t-test and the students’ conception profile was carried out using Certainty of Response Index technique. The results of this research show the significant difference in the post-test average and normalized gain average between the experimental class (81.976 and 0.679) and control class (68.267 and 0.437) and t count = 12.575 greater than t table = 2.000 on the confidence level 0.05. These results of research are supported by the fact that misconceptions in the experimental class are smaller than those in the control class. The implementation of edmodo learning media is effective to improve student’s understanding of the concepts and minimize their misconceptions on the topic of Temperatur and Heat
