The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the strategies in teaching viscosity using experimental demonstration for students with special needs. This study used the single subject research method with Pre-test and Post-test research design. The subjects of this study were students with special needs (students with intellectual disabilities and students with hearing impairment) at vocational high schools in Kuningan District, Indonesia. In this study, the learning process used experimental demonstration supported by recorded videos as learning media. The video showed the experimental activities of the viscosity level on eight substances (i.e. syrup, cooking oil, hand soap, liquid detergent, floor cleaner liquid, condensed milk, and mineral water). Results of the experiments in the videos indicate that condensed milk has the highest level of viscosity and mineral water has the lowest level of viscosity. The results of this study show that combination of experimental demonstration and media were very effective in improving the understanding of students with special needs in learning viscosity. This was confirmed by the increasing pre and post test results, supported by interviews. The use of interesting media with simple explanations made it easier for students with special needs to understand the material being taught, particularly in learning science which is considered quite complicated. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University
