The purpose of this study is to examine the practicality of Student Worksheets (LKS) physics learning at junior high school (SMP) for validated traditional culture-based tools. The topic of the LKS is simple machine. The method used in the study is a research and development. The research was conducted at the Junior High School in Pekanbaru which the data source was from three science teachers and thirty students of class VIII.
