Abstract
This study aims to analyze the literacy of physics concepts based on several types of natural resources in middle school students. The method used in this study is a descriptive participatory method. Samples were collected from 218 high school students around the location of natural resources in West Java. What is the profile of the physics concept for each type of natural resource and how students struggle to express physics concepts, and how to strengthen the literacy skills of students physics concepts. Data analysis was conducted in two types of ways, namely analyzing the results of literacy tests and then analyzing the literacy component, and triangulating qualitatively. The results showed that the ability of physical literacy in all types of natural resources was below average. Difficulties of students generally cannot apply the physics concepts learned in schools with the phenomenon of several types of natural resources contextually. The alternative to improving literacy skills is with sources of enrichment that are both conventional and digital
