Abstract
This study aims to describe the level of literacy of the physics concept of natural resources in high school students. The method used in this study is a participatory descriptive method. The sample is eleventh-grade students from high schools around the location of natural resources in West Java totaling 436 people. The instrument used was a literacy test in the form of four questions each asking how students processes, concepts, contexts, and attitudes towards natural resources were closest to their school or residence. In addition to expressing literacy tests, treatment was also given by giving material of natural resources. Data analysis was carried out analyzing the results of literacy disclosure followed by literacy tests, analyze the literacy component, and compare the resultsdata processing. The conclusions of this study are: (1) the literacy skills of physics concepts about local natural resources show a variety of both aspects of the process, concepts, and contexts and attitudes, (2) the expression of students about the basic concepts of natural resources varies, and (3) There is a correlation between students literacy skills in the basic concepts of physics enrichment material with the ability to understand the material enrichment of natural resources.
