Authored by Paul Hewitt, the pioneer of the enormously successful "concepts before computation" approach, Conceptual Physics boosts student success by first building a solid conceptual understanding of physics. Hewitt's 3-step learning approach—explore, develop, and apply—makes physics more accessible for today's students.

  • 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.
  • Now link your students to the Web! Conceptual Physics is now supported with the versatile and powerful PHSchool.com Companion Web site. Web links supply additional support for students who enjoy using the Web in their studies.
