Our fully revised regular level Conceptual Academy Physics online self-study program, by Paul G. Hewitt, is designed to meet the needs of a broad range of high school students. In addition to video tutorials and reading assignments, six unit exams are provided along with study aids, such as worksheets, simulations, automated quizzes, unit exams, and our own customized AI learning assistant, Alia. All this with the PDF pages of the accompanying textbook embedded. The printed textbook is optional but recommended. Importantly, for each module, the author provides his personal comments and guidance regarding the material. A full suite of lab activities are included with this program. Students are asked to document their experiences and observations in an accompanying “field journal”. Grading rubrics provided.

Review a .pdf of the front matter of this textbook, including its table of contents. Here are a few sample pages of discussing Newton’s second law of motion: PhysicsSample. These are actually physics pages from our very similar upper level physical science textbook, which extends the approach of Conceptual Physics to include chemistry, Earth science, and astronomy.

This self-study physics course walks the student through Paul Hewitt’s favorite content, which, no surprise, is practically the entire book. To cover this material requires a relatively fast pace, which is why this course is designated as “honors”. In addition to video tutorials and reading assignments, eight unit exams are provided along with study aids, such as worksheets, simulations, and automated quizzes. Importantly, for each module, the author provides his personal comments and guidance regarding the material. A full suite of lab activities are now included with this course. Students are asked to document their experiences and observations in an accompanying “field journal”. Grading rubrics provided.
