This self-study physics course walks the student through Paul Hewitt's favorite content, which, no surprise, is practically the entire book. This is ample content for a two semester course of study. Highly recommended for students needing an introduction to the essential concepts of physics, whether it be to fulfill a science requirement or as preparation for further studies. The material is presented in 41 self-paced lessons. 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 lesson, the author provides his personal comments and guidance regarding the material. Also includes a complete set of meaningful and engaging labs using only materials available from home or a discount store.

Description
Publisher's Description of Conceptual Physics, Honors One Year Self-Study Online Course
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".
