ABSTRACT
A research has been conducted which aims to design a waste-based calorimeter as an alternative
to measuring heat for chemistry practicum in schools. Research products developed through the
steps of design-based research comprising the steps of analysis, design, and development. The
resulting product is a waste-based calorimeter equipped with an automatic stirrer. The container
to store the reagent solution on the calorimeter is made of Styrofoam, paper, plastic, melamine,
PVC and bamboo. Optimization tool was conducted to determine the heat capacity of the
calorimeter and the enthalpy of neutralization. The highest accuracy calorimeter value between
78-97%. Bamboo calorimeter has the highest accuracy value (97%). Styrofoam calorimeter has
the lowest accuracy values (78%). Based on the results of the validation and feasibility test it can
be concluded that the product is declared valid and feasible.
