<![CDATA[Ethnoscience is a study that includes original knowledge of the community which can be verified through scientific methods. This original knowledge can be used as a learning resource to provide in-depth experiences, broaden knowledge, and increase students' interest in studying science. The purpose of this research is to reconstruct the original blacksmith's knowledge into scientific knowledge. This study used a qualitative approach with interview and observation methods.
