Abstract

Local wisdom-based science learning is essential as it encourages students to comprehend and appreciate scientific knowledge within the context of their culture and local values, thereby fostering a deeper and more relevant engagement in the science learning process. Bamboo cannon is one of the traditional toys rich in integrated science aspects, and the tradition of playing it remains popular in rural communities in Indonesia. This study aims to explore the bamboo cannon toy's characteristics and combine science aspects to supplement local wisdom-based science learning. The study is expected to enrich students' knowledge and preserve local culture collectively.

To achieve this goal, this qualitative research was conducted where the tradition of playing bamboo cannons is still alive, namely in the Krajan Hamlet, Kasiyan Village, Puger District, Jember, East Java, Indonesia. The findings were further examined through an exploratory framework and analyzed with integrated science aspects as a learning supplement. The research subjects consisted of three residents: Ahmad Taufiq Haqiqi, a junior high school student; Iqbal Habibi, a college student; and Budi Suharto, a Hamlet leader. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and literature review. Data analysis methods encompassed Data Condensation, Data Display, and Verification.

The research results indicate that: 1) Exploratory findings are observed in the selection of bamboo type and age, cutting bamboo with a saw, cleaning the bamboo nodes using a crowbar, making holes in the bamboo, mixing calcium carbide and water as explosive materials, and igniting the bamboo cannon, which can produce explosions. 2) The analysis of integrated science aspects in the traditional bamboo cannon toy includes: Plant Scientific Classification, Plant Morphology, Inclined Plane, Friction and Heat, Momentum-Impulse, Material Classification and Chemical Bonds, Hydrolysis Reaction, Exothermic Reaction, Combustion Reaction, Newton's Third Law, Parabolic Trajectory, Inelastic Collision, Sound Waves, Wave Interference, Organ Pipe, and Sound Intensity.
