10-HS Science Request for Sample Textbooks.docx

This is a Request for Sample Textbooks document issued by the Clark County School District in Nevada for high school science courses. The request seeks sample textbooks for Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Geoscience at both regular and honors levels (grades 9-12), with course numbers ranging from 3010 to 32004. The district requests 10 physical sample texts per subject area along with digital access to all instructional materials, including teacher and student editions at a 1:25 ratio. Sample ancillary materials are also required in the same quantities. The committee meetings are scheduled for June 1-5, 2026, and sample textbooks must be delivered to the Science Department at 3950 South Pecos-McLeod, Las Vegas, Nevada 89121, addressed to Curriculum Coordinator Dawn Bien. The request form and course Scope and Goals should be emailed to the Clark County School District Purchasing Department.

The Chemistry and Honors Chemistry Textbook Adoption contract opportunity that accompanies this sample request indicates that the adopted materials must support a one-year course integrating science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and core chemistry ideas including Structure and Properties of Matter, Chemical Reactions, and Engineering Design. The course requires mandatory demonstrations and laboratory experiences with proper safety techniques and incorporates diversity awareness and appropriate technology integration. The chemistry course fulfills one of the required science credits for high school graduation, qualifies as a laboratory science for college entrance, and may count toward College and Career Ready Flex Credit requirements for the Standard Diploma. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, or funding sources are identified in the provided documentation.
