Boyle's law is used to explain the inverse relationship between pressure and the volume of gas at a constant temperature. This law states that when the pressured container is filled by increasing gas, thus the total volume will decrease. This research paper aims to study the level of student acceptance of teaching based on teaching aids (TA) Boyle's Law Apparatus (BLA) in the teaching and learning for the DJJ20063 Thermodynamics course. The questionnaire study was distributed to 66 respondents, namely Port Dickson Polytechnic‟s students of semester 2, Diploma in Mechanical Engineering program December 2019 session who involved in lectures where TA is used to give the students a clear vision in understanding the concept of Boyle Law in the topic of Perfect Gas. The data were analysed by using SPSS software through descriptive analysis statistics. The results of the study showed that the level of effectiveness of this TA is at a high level with an average mean score of 3.70 and standard deviation 0.447. Therefore, studies showed that the use of this teaching aids among students provides a better understanding, especially on the topic of Perfect Gas compared to teaching methods without the teaching aids that had been produced before. Through this method as well, the study found that students' interest and determination to deepen a lesson can be nurtured in more depth.
