Why Conceptual Academy?

100% Built for Texas Students

Pioneering physics educator, Paul Hewitt, and colleagues at Conceptual Academy have created new versions of their seminal textbooks to enable hands-on inquiry, phenomena-based learning, and integration of science and engineering practices into the high school courses. You get the best of both worlds: proven content that has educated millions of science students that has been brought forward into the latest pedagogy and fully-aligned with the new TEKS, SEPs, and ELPS.

The Conceptual Academy materials enable both a 5E model of instruction and a conceptually-based lecture approach that Paul Hewitt pioneered.

Built on Paul Hewitt's Legacy

Paul Hewitt revolutionized teaching physics by making it more accessible and engaging. He wrote textbooks and created video and cartoon resources that focused on the conceptual understanding of the topic. Hewitt helped students connect science to their own lives. His approach to teaching has been widely adopted by schools around the world.
