Subjects in this study were two of chemistry teachers and thirty students of class
XI MIA-5, at SMAN 7 Banda Aceh. The sampling technique was done by purposive sampling. Data were collected using
questionnaire for magazine feasibility, as well as for student and teacher responses. The magazine's feasibility assessment was conducted with several aspects such as media format, visualization, function and clarity in concept of presentation. It has been found that the percentage of eligibility of developed magazine was of 91.67 percent. This percentage value was categorized as very feasible and could be tested to students. In
