Mental models aid us to comprehend the establishment of objects, the progress of the process and to assert a notion about a certain concept. This study consigns to investigating the mental model used by K-11 students in describing the hydraulic system. Research methods utilized the case study. The age of the participants is between 16th and 17th-year-olds (N = 105) of the eleventh graders in one of the Secondary Schools in West Java. The data unruffled through Two-Tier Open-Ended Tests (2TOET) was analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Through quantitative analysis, the descriptive mental model is more widely used than the exploratory mental model. The results assert that the participants built a diversity of mental models about system hydraulic and almost all students including defective mental models rather than a scientifically appropriate one. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
