One of efforts that teacher can be doing to assist student to learn in abstract physics concepts is to pass/through of hypermedia. Model of teaching by hypermedia can be developed to reach the certain target of learn as according to what we wanted. Model as software (in form of compact disk) can be facilitating in usage, either through individual and also team. The duty of science teacher in giving visualization or presenting phenomenon can be lightened by this model. The experiment result by implementation the model in science physics in electrodynamics subject at secondary school in Bandung, showing uplifting creative thinking skill; conceptual understanding; scientific process skill; experiment class gain more pre-eminent 19,17% to control class gain which using experiment real method. The model compatibles for average and lower student’s ability group. Weakness: to make model like this needed matured preparation and sufficiently long, needed a programmer who understanding about the software which going to use, items, and science approach. Technically model like this difficult to correct too long student answer or outside programmer estimating.
