This Quasi Experimental research aims to analyze the learning achievement of grade XI students of Public Senior High School in Bekasi, West Java-Indonesia. Two experiment science classes were selected as samples by using purposive random sampling. The 1 st sample class was taught using laboratory kit activity; whirls the 2 nd sample class was using PhET interactive simulation. The data was collected using written test to measure students’ achievement and then statistically analyzed using t-test to determine the hypothesis either be accepted or not. The normal distribution and homogeneity tests were also applied to know that the data was normally distributed, and all the variances were homogeneous with level of significant >0.05. The t test result indicated that the value of tcalculation (3,052) was greater than and tTable (1,667) that shown that there was a significant difference between the learning achievement of class 1 and 2 with mean value of 70.85 and 63.26, respectively. In conclusion that learning process using PhET interactive simulation provided higher students’ achievement compared to those class which apply laboratory kit activity of gas kinetic theory.
