Paul Hewitt

Paul Hewitt is a physicist and educator best known for creating the "Conceptual Physics" approach, which emphasizes understanding fundamental ideas of physics through real-world examples rather than just mathematical formulas. His work aims to make physics accessible and engaging for students by focusing on concepts and reasoning. Hewitt’s teaching materials and textbooks are widely used in schools to help learners grasp how the physical world operates, encouraging critical thinking and scientific literacy without requiring advanced math. His contributions have significantly influenced science education by making complex topics approachable and relevant.
