The purpose of this research is to design theory and learning, apply design and evaluate the ability of groups of students to explore context, local wisdom concepts and scientific processes about energy in everyday life and in the process of production machetes. The method used in this research is mixed methods. Data collection was carried out using observation, in-depth interviews, and measurements. The data analysis used a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results of material design and learning that are obtained are designs for learning activities which include learning activities stage-1 (exploration of the energy context in general), learning activities stage-2 (exploration of scientific concepts and processes about energy in the surrounding environment, its use by the community and the impact), stage-3 learning activities (exploration of context, concepts and scientific processes of machetes production). Overall, the implementation of learning activities in stages 1, 2 and 3 is very enjoyable for students, increasing critical thinking skills and the potential to be followed up and developed with coordination and facilitation by teachers, school leaders, parents and the community.
