Abstract
The making of handicraft made from pandan leaves (Pandanus tectorius) has been handed down from generation of generation. However, the number of craftsmen is decreasing. There is a need for dissemination of the science of craft making in the young generation, one of them through education. This paper would like to reveal the concept of physics and chemical concepts contained in the process of making handicrafts made from pandan leaves and local wisdom in it. The research method used is descriptive qualitative analysis through literature study and focus group discussion (FGD). The result of the research shows the existence of physics and chemistry concepts in the process of making pandan leaf-based crafts such as tensile strength, endurance to the sun ray, moisture, lignin content, and holocelullose content. In addition to physical and chemical aspects, handicraft making from pandan leaves also has much local wisdom that must be preserved. This study concludes that the concept of physics, chemistry and local wisdom contained in the making of handicrafts made from pandan leaves can be used as sources of learning in the form of enrichment materials. This effort is expected to increase the spirit of the younger generation to explore the heritage of the ancestors.
