Thermodynamics is a concept in physics that is considered difficult. This is because the students have to use high order thinking skills. Meanwhile, some research results indicate that students’ high order thinking skills are still low. In this study, guided inquiry based hypermedia was applied to hone students’ high order thinking skills on thermodynamics concepts. This research was conducted at SMA Islam Terpadu Mentar iIlmu Karawang in April 2020. Quasi-experimental was used as a method in this research. The research sample was class XI students who were grouped into the experimental class and the control class. The test instruments used were essay questions and non-test instruments used were questionnaires. The N-gain result shows that the posttest mean score of the experimental class increased. However, the increase was categorized as moderate. Hypothesis testing shows that there is an effect of guided inquiry based hypermedia on students’ high order thinking skills. Meanwhile, the results of the questionnaire showed that learning using hypermedia based on guided inquiry received a positive response from students and was categorized as very good (83%).
