Hewitt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormer silver-medal boxing champion, sign painter, uranium prospector, and soldier, Paul began college at the age of 27, with the help of the GI Bill. He pioneered the conceptual approach to teaching physics at the City College of San Francisco. He has taught as a guest teacher at various middle schools and high schools, the University of California at both the Berkeley and Santa Cruz campuses, and the University of Hawaii at both the Manoa and Hilo campuses. He also taught for 20 years at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, which honored him with its Outstanding Educator Award in 2000. He is the author of \u003ccite\u003eConceptual Physics\u003c\/cite\u003e and a co-author of \u003ccite\u003eConceptual Physical Science\u003c\/cite\u003e and \u003ccite\u003eConceptual Physical Science Explorations\u003c\/cite\u003e (with John Suchocki and Leslie Hewitt Abrams).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuzanne Lyons\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSuzanne received her B.A. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley. She earned her M.A. in education and her California teaching credential both from Stanford University. She earned another M.A. degree in Integrated Earth Sciences from California State University Sacramento. Suzanne was editor of \u003ccite\u003eConceptual Physics\u003c\/cite\u003e and other books in the Conceptual series for 16 years and has authored 7 books on physics, hands-on science activities, and other topics in science and education. She has taught science and education courses to students of diverse ages and ability levels, from elementary school through college. She is always interested in developing new ways to teach and to that end, she founded the small business CooperativeGames.com.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn A.

John obtained his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Virginia Commonwealth University where he also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in pharmacology. As a tenured professor at Leeward Community College his interests turned to science education, the development of distance learning programs, and student-centered learning curricula. Currently an adjunct professor at Saint Michael's College in Vermont, John also produces science multimedia through his company Conceptual Productions. His popular tutorial video lessons, as well as those of his coauthors, are freely available at ConceptualAcademy.com.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJennifer Yeh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJennifer earned a Ph.D. in integrative biology from the University of Texas, Austin, for her work on frog skeleton evolution.
