science textbook

Educational subject reference

A science textbook is a book designed for classroom instruction in a scientific subject—biology, chemistry, physics, earth science.

Science textbooks present established knowledge systematically, with diagrams, equations, and review questions.

They're updated as scientific understanding advances, though the process often lags behind current research: My son's science textbook still had Pluto listed as a planet.
