• Concepts before computation
  Conceptual Physics features the concepts-before-computation approach pioneered by Paul Hewitt. The program's proven THREE-STEP learning cycle boosts student success with mathematical problem-solving by first building a solid conceptual understanding of physics.
• Step 1. Explore
  Ignite student interest with meaningful examples and hands-on activities.
• Step 2. Concept Development
  Build an understanding of the principles of physics through engaging explanations, demonstrations, labs, concept-development exercises, and thought-provoking questions.
• Step 3. Apply
  Students apply what they know through laboratory work, mathematical problem-solving, and discussions of critical-thinking questions.
• Now available with powerful ExamView® software! Create and print custom tests in minutes from a bank of more than 2,00 than 2,000 questions. Simply edit existing quesitons or create your own. The choice is yours!
• Offers the additional math support student needs You'll find ample opportunities to help students practice math skills and build confidence with the Problem-Solving Exercises in Physics workbook.
