<![CDATA[Background: Science teaching at the junior high school (SMP) level still struggles to connect scientific concepts with students' everyday experiences. The absence of local wisdom integration contributes to low motivation and poor understanding of scientific material. One underutilized local potential is the traditional drying process of octopus practiced by coastal communities in Kaur Regency, Bengkulu.Aims: This study aims to develop and assess the feasibility of a science learning module based on the local wisdom of dried octopus, focusing on the concepts of temperature, heat, and expansion for seventh-grade students.Method: Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, the study involves five stages: analysis of student and teacher needs, module design, expert-validated development, implementation through a readability test involving 21 seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 24 Kaur, and final evaluation.Results: The results of the expert validation showed a module feasibility level of 95% with the category "very feasible," while the student readability test obtained an average score of 97% with the category "very easy to understand." The developed module also received positive responses from students regarding engagement, content clarity, language, and usefulness.Conclusion: The science module based on the local wisdom of octopus drying is considered highly feasible and practical for teaching temperature, heat, and expansion. Integrating local wisdom into science learning has been proven to improve students’ cognitive learning outcomes and foster awareness of local cultural values.]]>
