This study is intended to develop a concrete model, namely the Fountain of Phase (FOP), in order to assist the students’ understanding of phase transition at a macroscopic representation. The FOP model is built based on the ADDIE instructional design model, consisting of Analysis (A), Design (D), Development (D), Implementation (I), and Evaluation (E) phases. A panel of educational experts from Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI) has been appointed to evaluate the usability of the FOP model. The results show that the FOP model obtained a high percentage of agreement, exceeding 70% for the aspects of usefulness, suitability, design, and user-friendly properties. As a conclusion, this study has developed a concrete teaching aid that is valid and usable for the phase transition topic. It is also recommended to solicit feedback from the students in the future.
