This research aimed to study the understanding of high school students in Chiangmai about energy and momentum. The participants were 129 students. The instrument used in this study was Energy and Momentum Conceptual Survey (EMCS) which is standardized and widely accepted in Physics Education Research (PER). The samples used to study fundamental physics on the topic of work, energy and momentum in high-school. The analytic data came from the students who response toward 7 clusters of EMCS. It consisted of the conservation of energy, work done by gravitational force, work done by non-conservative forces, momentum conservation in collision, elastic-inelastic collision and change of momentum and Linear momentum. The study found that the students have a misconception about the factors of magnitude of work on an object, the conservation of energy and the momentum conservation in collision.
