Abstract
Indonesia is very rich in cultural diversity reflected in various aspects, including the tradition of mutual cooperation in the process of changing the candlestick of the Carmel Church as a form of local wisdom in Kamariang Village, West Seram. The process of changing the candlestick of the Carmel Church can be used as a medium or source of physics learning. This study aims to identify the physics concepts contained in the process of changing the candlestick of the Carmel Church of the Kamariang Congregation. The research method used is qualitative descriptive based on ethnoscience. Data collection was carried out in West Seram Regency, Kamariang Village using observation, interview, and literature review techniques. The data obtained were then analyzed, verified, and reduced, then constructed and interpreted into scientific knowledge. The physics concepts that can be extracted from the process of erecting the candlestick of the Carmel Church are force, effort, energy, simple machines, power, Newton's laws, center of gravity, equilibrium, torque, and pressure. The results of the study indicate that the process of erecting the candlestick of the Carmel Church in Kamariang Village can be interpreted into scientific knowledge and implemented in physics learning
