Now, this is referred to as the industrial era 4.0, which is present simultaneously as the era of disruption. Therefore, this study aims to produce Electronic Student Worksheets of Physics (eSWoP) with the help of Sway to use PhET Simulations on physics learning about temperature and heat. This research was conducted using ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) research methods. The sample for the application of eSWoP used in the study was 86 students aged 16-18 years from a province in Indonesia. The result of this study is a PhET-assisted eSWoP teaching material that can be used through various electronic devices, using PhET simulations that can help students understand physics subjects at temperature and heat. In the questionnaire given to students, information was obtained that eSWoP media is useful, easy to use and can increase students’ learning motivation. It was suggested that eSWoP technology could be a powerful and effective tool to enable students from the physics lesson into the inquiry process. Moreover, the implications of using eSWoP for teaching physics and recommendations for further studies are also discussed in this study.
