Conceptual Physical Science

Conceptual Physical Science, 6th Edition, authored by Paul G. Hewitt, John A. Suchocki, and Leslie A. Hewitt, is a physical science textbook published by Pearson in 2017. The work outlines physical principles across scientific disciplines to support student learning in introductory physical science.

The thematic scope encompasses four primary areas of study: physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy. Instructional material moves progressively through these domains, connecting physical laws and chemical concepts with planetary systems and broader astronomical phenomena.

To facilitate student practice and reinforce lesson topics, the publication incorporates reorganized exercises within each chapter. This sixth edition features over 150 new end-of-chapter questions designed to help readers review scientific ideas and evaluate their problem-solving skills.
