Abstract	A group of scientists and science educators at Washington State University (WSU) has developed and pilot tested an integrated physical science program designed for preservice elementary school teachers. Courses developed were: (1) fundamentals of astronomy and physics, (2) fundamentals of chemistry and earth sciences, and (3) methods for teaching elementary school science. During the project, courses were taught twice each so that student feedback could be integrated into final course materials. Assessment of student attitudes toward science showed that the cohort of participants was most positive about science and the teaching of science. This first project report provides background information; descriptions of each course; the project evaluation including the WSU science inventory test, a science attitude survey; tips on implementation and a discussion of dissemination activities.
