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 access[...]

This guide provides a variety of hands-on activities and experiments that complement the Active Explorations throughout the text.[...]

This manual contains interesting lab experiments that use minimal equipment, as well as a wide range of activities similar to the projects in the textbook. These activities guide students to experience phenomena before they quantify the same phenomena in a follow-up laboratory experiment.[...]

This engaging text takes learning physical science to a new level by combining Hewitt's leading conceptual approach with a friendly writing style, strong integration of the sciences, and more quantitative coverage. It provides a conceptual overview of basic, essential topics in physics, chemistry, e[...]

This includes a balance of in-depth experiments that allow students to develop laboratory skills and quick activities that use readily available materials.[...]

If we teach children the basic laws of science correctly, it will build a strong foundation for learning science in the future. This book is Paul Hewitt's vision of how to explain these basic concepts to children. Only the attuned ear can fully appreciate a Beethoven symphony; only the cultivated pa[...]

This book is filled with computational exercise, misconception-busting questions, analogies, and straightforward practice questions and problems that help students tie it all together.[...]

This skill-building workbook helps students build their confidence and understanding of concepts in the textbook by providing additional questions and activities. Answers to all questions are provided at the back of the workbook.[...]

This best-selling introduction to the physical and life sciences emphasizes concepts over computation and treats equations as a guide to thinking so the reader can connect ideas.Conceptual Integrated Science covers physics, chemistry, earth science, astronomy, and biology at a level appropriate for [...]
