Students’ initial ideas are usually naïve. Information about students’ initial ideas are urgen, because students’ conceptual understanding could be reached if they had scientific ideas. Inappropriate resource caused the presence of students’ naïve ideas. Based on that, students’ resource on buoyant force were identified. Mixed method was used as study design. Closed-ended with reason was used as study instrument on XIth grade students one of high school at Lamongan. Six ideas about buoyant force were found. Five of six ideas came from resource “the more effort, the greater result”, and one of them came from fluid pressure idea.
