See Apologia for biology, Teaching Textbooks for geometry, and I'm not sure about astronomy (Apologia has an elementary book, but I assume you want high school?).

I just recently received my Sonlight Science order for my 6th grader and 1st grader. They're not 'texts' per se, but more like guides. I also looked at BJUPress and A Beka, but prefer the layout of SL.
For elementary, there's Real Science for Kids (RS4K), Noeo Science, God's Design series, Eagle's Wings, and Apologia has an elementary program (Exploring Creation with ...). There's also the TOPS Science program.
In junior/senior high school, I plan to use Apologia. They're considered the best.
You can also check out Cathy Duffy's website for more ideas.
Not sure what to tell you about geometry - most of the homeschool math courses include geometry within the alg. to calculus flow. Key Curriculum Press has a book, "Key to Geometry", but I don't know anything about it.

I like to use Janice Van Cleave's books for my son. (He'll be in 3rd grade). Here they are at Amazon:
