Hewitt, the pioneer of the enormously successful, "concepts before computation" approach, continues to set the standard for clear, accessible writing and a three-step approach to physics that will stimulate students at every learning level. Now with even more problem-solving opportunities, robust technology, and hands-on materials. 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 accessible to 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! Research and Validity Quantitative and qualitative research supporting Prentice Hall Science programs Authors Paul G. Hewitt's ability to communicate the concepts of physics through simple language, cartoon sketches, and thought-provoking demonstrations has made his courses at City College of San Francisco extremely popular.
