New York Regents - Science
Grades 9–12
Prepare for Regents Exams with a complete review of high school science courses
Concise and accessible texts include clearly labeled drawings, diagrams, and photographs that illuminate and reinforce subject matter.
The detailed content can be used:
- for test preparation
- to supplement the core textbook
- as a topical review of course content throughout the year
- as a source of questions for homework assignments
Life Science: Biology and Earth and Space Science 2nd editions have been updated to reflect the content of the spring 2025 Regents Exams and provide authentic test practice through Regents-style phenomena-based cluster questions at the end of each chapter.
Previous Regents Exams are included to test students' competency and readiness.
Program Titles

Earth and Space Science
Students learn about Earth's history, systems, weather and climate; our solar system; and the universe beyond.
- Relevant diagrams and tables align with the most current 2024 edition of the Reference Tables for Earth & Space Sciences.

Life Science: Biology
Students learn how living things survive, what they are made of, and how they have changed over time while practicing important science skills, including asking questions, conducting investigations, developing models, and using evidence to support claims.
- Integrated Biology Practice has been added for the following Next Gen Science Standards and the Engineering Design Standards: HS-ESS2-6, HS-ESS2-7, HS-ETS1-1 through 1-4.
- Performance Task activities connect to NGSS content and allow students to plan and conduct investigations, analyze data, and form conclusions based on evidence.
Across Both AMSCO® Earth and Space Science and AMSCO Life Science Biology, 2nd Editions
These new worktexts connect instruction to the new Earth Regents Exam to be given for the first time in June 2025.
- New York Regents-style practice at the end of each chapter includes phenomena-based cluster questions.
- Updated correlations reflect the New Visions 2025-2026 Course Maps.
- New Visions Science Scope & Sequence is aligned to the AMSCO worktexts for ease of planning and use in the classroom.
- All standards addressed in each lesson are clearly identified.
- Engaging introductions present an overview of chapter content and help explain how topics relate to students' lives.
- Core instruction emphasizes conceptual understanding and highlights connections among topics.
- English Language Learner Support is provided through many opportunities for listening, speaking, reading, and writing which develops English language and Science academic language proficiency.
- Chunked Instructional content, visualization for meaning and usage, and two-color layout increases accessibility, supports readability, and reinforces the text.
- The student eBook with the Immersive Reader allows students to adapt the selection with built-in IEP and 504 accommodations support, translate and listen to the text in over 100 languages/dialects, enhance word knowledge through a picture dictionary, syllabification, and parts of speech, and customize readability by changing font type, size, and background color.
- Regents-style multiple-choice and open-ended questions require analyzing information and writing explanations while providing ongoing formative assessment.
- Chapter questions embedded throughout the text give students a chance to summarize and apply what they have learned, helping them to make sense of information and show their thinking.
- Problem-Solving features in each chapter provide opportunities to practice writing, research, and presentation skills while developing solutions to real-world problems.
- Problem-Solving and Performance Task activities allow students to plan and conduct investigations, analyze data, and form conclusions based on evidence.
Reviewing Chemistry: The Physical Setting
- The 12 concise chapters cover the Physical Behavior of Matter; Atomic Concepts; Nuclear Chemistry; Chemical Bonding; Kinetics and Equilibrium; Acids, Bases and Salts; and more.
- Over 1,000 chapter review questions mirror the format of the Regents Exam and can be used for topic review throughout the year, exams, and homework assignments.
- Illustrations and particle diagrams illuminate and reinforce the subject matter.
- Important science terms are boldfaced and defined in the text and in the glossary.
- Previous Regents Exams are included to test students' competency and readiness.
Reviewing Physics: The Physical Setting
