Hardcover
2009
Brief Description
New! 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.
The Three Step Learning Approach makes physics more accessible for today's students.
Exploration
Ignite interest with meaningful examples and hands-on activities.
Concept Development
Expand understanding with engaging narrative and visuals, multimedia presentations, and a wide range of concept-development questions and exercises.
Application
Reinforce and apply key concepts with hands-on
laboratory work, critical thinking, and problem solving.
Features and Benefits
- A brand new table of contents gets students immediately engaged in scientific activities.
- All new technology helps you plan, teach, and assess even more effectively.
- Even more reading and math support for struggling learners.
- Active learning with fully correlated activities to get your students excited about physics!
