The aim of this research was to investigate the contribution of Virtual Microscopic Simulation (VMS) to unveil students' misconceptions the physics concepts (Heat Transfer). Our simulation was produced using the software Macromedia flash. This research evaluates the progress of concept by students (20-22 years old) after one lesson (90 minutes) in three step scenarios: Predict of a problem, Experience using only VMS, Reflect from the difference between prediction and what happens in the experience. The results VMS related to heat transfer was evaluated through a pre-, post-, and retention test. The tests scores were analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings suggested that the VMS helps students to achieve better conceptual understanding and enables students to retain their understandings to unveil students’ misconception. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.
