9-HS Science Request for Sample Textbooks.docx

This is a Request for Sample Textbooks submitted by the Clark County School District in Nevada for high school science courses. The district is requesting sample textbooks for Biology/Biology Honors, Chemistry/Chemistry Honors, Physics/Physics Honors, and Geoscience/Geoscience Honors courses serving grades 9-12, including regular, honors, English Language Learner, and special education populations. The district requires 10 physical sample texts per course with digital access to all material aspects, along with 10 physical ancillary materials per course and corresponding digital access. Sample textbooks must be delivered to the Science Department at 3950 South Pecos-McLeod, Las Vegas, Nevada 89121, with committee meetings scheduled for June 1-5, 2026. The teacher edition to student edition ratio is 1 to 25.

The Physics course component is designed as a one-year course integrating scientific and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas including Forces and Interactions, Energy, Waves and Electromagnetic Radiation, and Engineering Design. The course requires demonstrations and lab experiences employing proper safety techniques and incorporates diversity awareness and cultural appreciation. Technology integration is integral to the curriculum. This course fulfills one science credit required 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. The completed form and course Scope and Goals should be emailed to the Clark County School District Purchasing Department.
