Since defining this course 30 years ago, Paul Hewitt's best-selling text continues as the benchmark by which all others are judged. InConceptual Physics with MasteringPhysics®, Twelfth EditionPaul Hewitt integrates a compelling text and the most advanced media to make physics interesting, understandable, and relevant for students. TheTwelfth Editionwill delight students with informative and fun Hewitt-Drew-It screencasts, updated content, applications, and new learning activities in MasteringPhysics.
Hewitt's text is guided by the principle of "concepts before calculations" and is famous for engaging students with analogies and imagery from the real-world that build a strong conceptual understanding of physical principles ranging from classical mechanics to modern physics.
Category Description for Conceptual Physics
This online course, when combined with the Conceptual Physics - 12th Ed. text, comprises a high school level physics course. With 41 lessons (each taking approximately one week), the Honors Physics course covers mechanics, matter, heat, sound., electromagnetism, light and modern physics. The simplest option is completing the labs provided in the end-of-chapter activities in the textbook, while more involved "PhET" labs can be accessed with the course contents. (There is a lab book that correlates for the Conceptual Physics textbook available from other textbook resellers for the most complete lab experience, although most labs will require classroom physics lab equipment.) For more detailed information on the course, download the PDF "User's Manual".
