Paul Hewitt’s Conceptual Physics Workshop for
Teachers (NVT-10)
Oneleft. Bargain Pricing. Paul Hewitt’s Conceptual Physics Workshop for Teachers is available
on aprofessionally videotaped and edited 9-DVD set. This classic physics educational resource
features 15 hours of material and takes you through Paul Hewitt’s High School Edition of
Conceptual Physics giving you teaching tips that Paul has developed over his many years as a
physics teacher. Each DVD has many examples of simple demonstrations, methods for presenting
equations, approaches to problem solving and Paul’s personal stories that use physics principles to
examine the world around us. Topics covered include linear and projectile motion, Newton’s Laws,
momentum and energy, rotational mechanics and universal gravitation, heat, light, electricity and
magnetism, radioactivity, and a special selection on drawing physics diagrams similar to the ones
Paul uses in his Conceptual Physics textbooks.

Powerful Ideas in Physical Science
This undergraduate course CD offers instructor and student materials electronically. It allows you
to search topics, print out just what you need, modify worksheets, and more.
The Powerful Ideas course model is intended for faculty who teach college students who aspire
to be tomorrow’s elementary educators. The course content focuses on those physical science
concepts that are initially introduced in elementary science curricula. In addition, the flex-
ible materials can be modified to build an introductory physical science course for nonscience
majors. Easy-to-use worksheets and a structured questioning pattern guide future teachers
through a hands-on, inquiry-based course that models the way science should be taught. The
college instructor’s materials parallel student activities and provide important insights and
instructional background. Assessment strategies are included to assist faculty in developing
techniques that assess meaningful learning. The six volumes: Light and Color, Electricity, Heat
and Conservation of Energy, Nature of Matter, Force, and Motion can be used chronologically
or in optional sections. To offer a course constructed on Powerful Ideas in Physical Science, the
department needs only one set of course development materials per faculty member. The course
includes student materials, rights to copy and distribute student materials, and access to a net-
working list of current users. No other textbook is necessary.
A single CD-ROM contains all six volumes.
Vol. 1: Light and Color (CTCD-L) Vol. 4: Nature of Matter (CTCD-N)
Vol. 2: Electricity (CTCD-E) Vol. 5: Motion (CTCD-M)
Vol. 3: Heat and Conservation of Energy (CTCD-H) Vol. 6: Force (CTCD-F)

Safety in Physics Education (OP-67)
Edited by the AAPT Committee on Apparatus, Safety in Physics Education is intended to
create an awareness of safety, to encourage safe habits, and to teach respect for potential safety
hazards. This manual is intended for a broad audience in the physics teaching community.
It can be used across the spectrum of experimental and demonstration activities—from
elementary to advanced undergraduate laboratories. (121 pages) ISBN 1-931024-01-4 ©2001
