My oldest child will be going through Conceptual Physics this coming school year. He will be reading the 9th edition Conceptual Physics book and all page numbers and problem numbers are based on that book. Click here to see the book on Amazon. I believe this edition was designed to be used for a college class with non-science majors.
It was a bit daunting for me to figure out how to plan out this course for my son at first. But, I discovered many great online resources that made it a doable task. I’m quite happy with how this course has turned out.
My son is doing Conceptual Physics as a non-lab course. However, I have included many simulations that could be used as labs. I’m just having my son explore the simulations as an extension of what he has learned in the book and videos.
Most of the course will be done independently by my son. However, I will do the Next Time Questions with him and check his answers on the questions, exercises, and problems assigned in the book.
Here are many of the great resources I found to help me put together this course outline:
- Next Time Questions written by Paul Hewitt
- Lisa Peck’s Conceptual Physics Website
- GPB Education Physics Video Course (I didn’t actually use this one, but it is a great resource.)
- Interactive Science Simulations
- Physics for Today (Has answers to many of the questions from the 11th edition. Many of the same questions are in the 9th edition. He also has additional questions and answers on the topics.)
- Hewitt Drew It videos from Youtube. They explain and demonstrate the concepts taught in the chapter. A great resource!
I’ve incorporated a couple “toys” into the course as well. My son already owns them and I felt they would be a good fit for this course.

Thank you for sharing all of these resources. We will be using this course for our Science this year. I have the text, Practicing Physics book, Problem Solving in Conceptual Physics, and the Lab Manual, none of which have a lesson plan included. How did you schedule these for your student? I’ve found a few syllabi but none that really delineate day-to-day assignments. Would you be willing to share what your plan?
Just found your outline and links. Thank you so much for the helpful resources.
Thank you for this! I’m curious how the course went? Did the material seem manageable? I know from experience that the Miller Levine Biology text is huge with so many chapters, so we had to cut several chapters from our biology study.
