Abstract

this research aims to describe the implementation of interactive multimedia and kits on Chemistry in Daily Life Topic. The kit consists of student activity sheet and tools and materials for experiment. Student activity sheet of chemistry on foods and chemistry on household theme each consist of four experiments. The implementations were done in Jember Senior High School State for Disabilities and Blitar Senior High School State for Disabilities. The research instruments consists of implementation of interactive multimedia and kit observation sheets and concept comprehension test sheets. Data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively.
