Janeway Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Why does Derek Owens use Hewitts Conceptual Physics in the Physical Science class and Clover Creek use it in the high school physics class? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Here is what the website says: The complete content of this course is in the lecture notes and videos of the lectures, in the Student Workbook, and in the supplemental readings. Separate textbooks are no longer necessary. Originally written for a group of students in California, this course was based on the California text Focus on Physical Science and also on Paul Hewitt's Conceptual Physical Science. Conceptual Physical Science is different from Conceptual Physics. Aside from that, DO's physics course is a regular high school physics course, which has more math than the conceptual variety.

So it is Conceptual Physical Science, not Conceptual Physics? I did not catch that! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
