Misconceptions can be defined as a discrepancy between the concepts obtained and understood with scientific concepts stated by experts. This study aims to identify students' misconceptions about the movement system and circulation system material during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research was quantitative descriptive. The study was conducted on 506 students from 9 senior high schools in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia in the even semester of the 2020-2021 school year. The sampling technique was simple random sampling. The results showed that in the movement system material, students had the highest percentage in the category of not understanding the concept (23.25%) which was included in the low category, while the circulation system material was 30.41% which was classified in the medium category. Furthermore, students who experience misconceptions in the movement system material get a percentage of 17.81% which is classified in the low category and the circulation system material is 26.38% which is classified in the low category.
