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 editions have been updated to align to the new 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
This new worktext connects instruction to the new Earth and Space Sciences Regents Exam to be given for the first time in June 2025.

- Engaging introductions present an overview of chapter content and help explain how topics relate to students' lives.
- Core instruction helps students make sense of information and recognize connections among topics.
- Problem-Solving features prompt students to develop solutions to real-world problems while practicing their reading, writing, and presentation skills.
- Each chapter includes a Performance Task activity that invites students to conduct investigations, gather data, and construct explanations based on evidence.
- Chapter questions embedded throughout give students a chance to immediately apply what they have learned.
- Review Questions at the end of each text section provide formative assessment with Regents-style multiple-choice and open-ended questions.
- All standards address in each lesson are clearly identified.
Earth Science: The Physical Science
This worktext connects instruction to the current exam which will be give for the last time in June 2026.
The 12 chapters are sequenced to match the growth and maturation of thinking skills during the academic year and include multiple-choice questions organized and modeled after the Regents Exam to be used for review, exams, and homework assignments.
Life Science: Biology
This new worktext connects instruction to the new Earth Regents Exam to be given for the first time in June 2025.
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.
- New York Regents-style practice at the end of each chapter includes phenomena-based cluster questions.
- Problem-Solving features in each chapter provide opportunities to practice writing, research, and presentation skills while developing solutions to real-world problems.
- Performance Task activities connect to NGSS content and allow students to plan and conduct investigations, analyze data, and form conclusions based on evidence.
- 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.
- Review Questions at the end of each text section provide practice with Regents-style multiple-choice questions and short-answer questions that require analyzing information and and writing explanations.
