The first administration of the new NYS Regents physics exam, which assesses students on the performance expectations below, is planned for June 2026 (per the NYSED science implementation roadmap).

The performance expectations are listed as they appear on the physics course map for courses that culminate in a physics Regents exam. There are a total of 23 performance expectations on the physics course map.

The performance expectations are listed in the exact order they appear on the physics course map. However, the course map notes that "instructional sequences are not assumed" and "student performance expectations (PEs) may be taught in any sequence or grouping within a course".

HS. Structure and Properties of Matter

HS-PS1-8 | Nuclear Processes
Develop models to illustrate the changes in the composition of the nucleus of the atom and the energy released during the processes of fission, fusion, and radioactive decay.

Clarification statement: Emphasis is on simple qualitative models, such as pictures or diagrams, and on the scale of energy released in nuclear processes relative to other kinds of transformations.

Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include quantitative calculation of energy released. Assessment is limited to alpha, beta, positron, and gamma radioactive decays.
