Julie,
I used Hewett's Conceptual Physical Science last year in a physical science
course and basically liked it.  The students liked it as well.

The instructor's manual is also well-done.

However, I do not recommend the accompanying lab manual.

Conceptual Physical Science by Paul G. Hewitt, et. al., Harper/Collins, C.
1994
ISBN 0-673-46379-6
