1. Materials and Their Properties | 材料及其属性
Understanding material properties is fundamental in Year 7 Engineering. Materials are grouped into metals, polymers, ceramics and composites. Each has mechanical and physical characteristics such as hardness, strength, toughness, ductility and stiffness. Hardness refers to resistance to scratching or indentation; strength is the ability to withstand a force without breaking; toughness is the capacity to absorb energy before fracturing.
在 Year 7 工程中，理解材料特性是基础。材料分为金属、聚合物、陶瓷和复合材料。每种材料都有力学和物理特性，如硬度、强度、韧性、延展性和刚度。硬度指抗刮擦或抗压入的能力；强度是承受外力而不破坏的能力；韧性是断裂前吸收能量的能力。
The most common exam question asks you to select a suitable material for a given product. For example, a hammer head must have high hardness to resist deformation and good toughness to survive repeated impacts. Students often confuse hardness with strength, choosing glass for a load-bearing beam because glass is hard. Glass is hard but extremely brittle; it has low tensile strength and will shatter under bending. A correct choice would be mild steel, which combines high tensile strength with some ductility.
最常见的考题是让你为特定产品选择合适的材料。例如，锤头必须具有高硬度以防止变形，还要有良好的韧性以承受反复冲击。学生常常混淆硬度与强度，因为玻璃坚硬而选择它作为承重梁。玻璃很硬但极脆，其拉伸强度低，在弯曲下会碎裂。正确的选择应是低碳钢，它兼具高拉伸强度和一定的延展性。
Another tricky point is distinguishing between toughness and stiffness. A stiff material (e.g., ceramic) does not bend easily, but may be brittle. A tough material (e.g., rubber) can undergo large deformation without breaking. When asked to choose a material for a safety helmet, tough plastic is preferred because it can absorb impact energy without cracking.
另一个易混点是区分韧性与刚度。刚度高的材料（如陶瓷）不易弯曲，但可能很脆。韧性材料（如橡胶）能发生大变形而不破裂。当要求为安全帽选择材料时，优选韧性好的塑料，因为它能吸收冲击能量而不开裂。
Remember to justify your choice by linking the material property to the function, not simply stating 'it is strong'.
记住，要通过联系材料特性与功能来论证你的选择，而不仅仅说“它很坚固”。
2. Forces and Motion: Basic Mechanics | 力与运动：基础力学
Forces are pushes or pulls that can change an object's shape, speed or direction. In Year 7, you must know contact forces (friction, air resistance, tension, normal reaction) and non-contact forces (gravitational, magnetic, electrostatic). The unit of force is the newton (N). Weight is a force caused by gravity acting on a mass.
力是推或拉，可以改变物体的形状、速度或方向。在 Year 7，你必须了解接触力（摩擦力、空气阻力、张力、法向反力）和非接触力（重力、磁力、静电力）。力的单位是牛顿 (N)。重量是重力作用在质量上的力。
nywhere in the universe. Weight is the gravitational force on that mass and is calculated by W = m × g, where g is the gravitational field strength. On Earth, g ≈ 10 N/kg, so a 5 kg object weighs about 50 N. In exams, students often write 'weight = 5 kg' instead of 'weight = 50 N' and lose marks.
一个高频错误是将质量与重量看作一回事。质量是物质的量，单位是千克 (kg)，在宇宙任何地方都保持不变。重量是作用在该质量上的
