Spend about 30–45 minutes each day on physics. Start by reviewing notes, then complete a few practice questions and mark your work using an answer sheet. At the end of each week, summarise what you have learned in your own words.
每天花约30–45分钟学习物理。先复习笔记，然后完成几道练习题，并用答案单批改。每周结束时，用自己的话总结所学内容。
2. Week 1: Motion and Speed | 第1周：运动与速度
In Year 8 Physics, you need to be able to calculate average speed and interpret distance-time graphs. Average speed is the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken. The equation is:
在八年级物理中，你需要能计算平均速度并解读距离–时间图。平均速度等于总路程除以总时间，公式为：
average speed = distance ÷ time
Always check that your units are consistent. For example, if distance is measured in metres and time in seconds, speed will be in metres per second (m/s). A straight, sloping line on a distance-time graph shows constant speed; a horizontal line means the object is stationary.
务必检查单位是否一致。例如，若距离以米为单位、时间以秒为单位，则速度单位为米每秒（m/s）。距离–时间图上的一条倾斜直线表示匀速运动；水平线表示物体静止。
Practice plotting distance-time graphs using data from a table. Work out the gradient of the line to find the speed. Make sure you can also describe the motion shown by a curved graph, where speed is changing.
练习根据表格数据绘制距离–时间图。通过计算直线的斜率求得速度。确保你也能描述曲线图所示的运动，此时速度在不断变化。
Common mistake: confusing average speed with instantaneous speed. Remember that average speed covers a whole journey, while instantaneous speed is the speed at one specific moment.
常见错误：混淆平均速度与瞬时速度。请记住，平均速度对应于整个行程，而瞬时速度是某一特定时刻的速度。
3. Week 2: Forces in Action | 第2周：力的作用
Forces are measured in newtons (N). They can be contact forces, like friction and air resistance, or non-contact forces, such as gravity and magnetic forces. When two forces acting on an object are equal in size and opposite in direction, they are balanced and the object remains at rest or moves at constant speed.
力以牛顿（N）为单位。力可以是接触力，如摩擦力和空气阻力；也可以是非接触力，如重力和磁力。当一个物体受到的两个力大小相等、方向相反时，它们相互平衡，物体会保持静止或匀速直线运动。
Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate, decelerate or change direction. Friction is a force that opposes motion; it can be useful (e.g. walking) or a nuisance (e.g. wear in machinery).
非平衡力会导致物体加速、减速或改变方向。摩擦力是阻碍运动的力；它既有用（如行走）也会带来麻烦（如机器磨损）。
When drawing force diagrams, use arrows to show the direction and size of each force. The longer the arrow, the larger the force. Always label each force clearly.
画受力图时，用箭头表示各力的方向和大小。箭头越长，力越大。务必清晰标注每个力。
Test yourself: describe what happens to a parachutist before and after opening the parachute, using the ideas of air resistance and weight.
自测：运用空气阻力和重力的概念，描述跳伞者在打开降落伞前后的运动情况。
4. Week 3: Energy | 第3周：能量
Energy is the ability to do work. It comes in different stores: kinetic, gravitational potential, thermal, chemical, elastic and nuclear. The principle of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one store to another.
能量是做功的能力。能量以不同的形式储存：动能、重力势能、内能、化学能、弹性势能和核能。能量守恒定律指出，能量不能被创造或毁灭，只能从一种能量储存转移到另一种。
When an object falls, gravitational potential energy is transferred to kinetic energy. Some energy is also transferred to the thermal store of the surroundings due to air resistance. Energy flow diagrams (Sankey diagrams) help show the useful and wasted energy transfers.
物体下落时，重力势能转化为动能。由于空气阻力，一部分能量还会转化为周围环境的内能。能量流向图（Sankey图）有助于显示有用和浪费的能量转移。
y. It can be calculated by: efficiency = (useful output energy ÷ total input energy) × 100%. No device is 100% efficient.
效率用来衡量输入能量转化为有用输出能量的比例，计算公式为：效率 = （有用输出能量 ÷ 总输入能量）× 100%。没有任何设备能达到100%的效率。
h as a lamp (electrical → light + thermal) or a moving car (chemical → kinetic + thermal).
复习建议：为日常情景列出能量转化，例如电灯（电能→光能+内能）或行驶的汽车（化学能→动能+内能）。
5. Week 4: Electricity | 第4周：电学
In an electric circuit, current is the flow of electric charge. It is measured in amperes (A) using an ammeter connected in series. Voltage (potential difference) is the energy transferred per unit charge and is measured in volts (V) using a voltmeter connected in parallel.
在电路中，电流是电荷的流动，单位为安培（A），用串联的安培表测量。电压（电势差）是单位电荷所转移的能量，单位为伏特（V），用并联的伏特表测量。
There are two basic types of circuits: series and parallel. In a series circuit, the current is the same at all points, but the voltage is shared between components. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same, while the total current splits.
电路有两种基本类型：串联和并联。串联电路中，各处电流相等，但电压在各元件间分配。并联电路中，各支路两端电压相等，而总电流分流。
Resistance is a measure of how difficult it is for current to flow. It is calculated using Ohm’s law:
电阻是衡量电流流动难易程度的物理量，可用欧姆定律计算：
voltage (V) = current (A) × resistance (Ω)
Adding more resistors in series increases the total resistance, while adding more branches in parallel decreases the total resistance. Always check circuit symbols before drawing diagrams.
串联更多的电阻会增加总电阻，而并联更多的支路则会减小总电阻。画电路图前一定要确认各元件的电路符号。
Try building simple circuits with an online simulator or a practical kit, and take measurements to confirm the rules for current and voltage.
尝试用在线模拟器或实际操作搭建简单电路，并测量数据以验证电流和电压的规律。
6. Week 5: Waves and Sound | 第5周：波与声音
Waves carry energy from one place to another without transferring matter. Sound waves are longitudinal waves, meaning the particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels. Light and water waves are transverse waves.
波将能量从一处传递到另一处，而不传递物质。声波是纵波，意味着粒子振动方向与波的传播方向相同。光波和水波是横波。
The frequency of a sound wave determines its pitch: a high frequency gives a high pitch. The amplitude determines the loudness: a larger amplitude means a louder sound. Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz).
声波的频率决定音调高低：频率高则音调高。振幅决定响度：振幅越大，声音越响。频率以赫兹（Hz）为单位。
Sound needs a medium to travel; it cannot travel through a vacuum. The speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s. You can use the wave equation:
声音需要介质才能传播，无法在真空中传播。声音在空气中的传播速度约为340米/秒。可以使用波动方程：
wave speed (m/s) = frequency (Hz) × wavelength (m)
Practice using this equation to find unknown values. Also know that humans can hear sounds roughly between 20 Hz and 20 000 Hz.
练习运用此方程求未知量。还要知道人耳大致能听到20 Hz到20 000 Hz之间的声音。
Common misconception: larger amplitude sound waves travel faster. This is not true — amplitude affects loudness, but wave speed depends on the medium.
常见误解：振幅大的声波传播得更快。这是错误的——振幅影响响度，而波速取决于介质。
7. Week 6: Light and the Solar System | 第6周：光与太阳系
Light travels in straight lines at a speed of about 300 000 000 m/s in a vacuum. When light hits a smooth surface, it reflects obeying the law of reflection: the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Both angles are measured from the normal, an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface.
光在真空中以约3亿米/秒的速度沿直线传播。光照射到光滑表面时会发生反射，并遵循反射定律：入射角等于反射角。这两个角都从法线（垂直于表面的假想线）量起。
Refraction occurs when light passes from one medium to another and changes speed, causing it to bend. A ray moving from air into glass slows down and bends towards the normal. Lenses and prisms use refraction to focus or split light.
光从一种介质进入另一种介质时，由于速度改变会发生折射，导致光线弯曲。光线从空气射入玻璃时会减速并向法线偏折。透镜和棱镜利用折射来聚光或分光。
The Solar System consists of the Sun, eight planets, their moons, dwarf planets, asteroids and comets. Gravity keeps the planets in their elliptical orbits around the Sun. The order of planets from the Sun is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
太阳系由太阳、八大行星、它们的卫星、矮行星、小行星和彗星组成。引力使行星沿椭圆轨道围绕太阳运行。行星距太阳由近到远的顺序是：水星、金星、地球、火星、木星、土星、天王星、海王星。
Explain why we have day and night, and why a year is about 365¼ days long. Use the rotation of Earth on its axis and its orbit around the Sun to support your explanation.
解释为什么会有昼夜之分，以及为什么一年的长度约为365¼天。用地球绕地轴自转和绕太阳公转来支持你的解释。
8. Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them | 常见错误与避免方法
Many students lose marks by writing 'speed' instead of 'velocity' or mixing up mass and weight. Speed is a scalar quantity (magnitude only), while velocity is a vector (magnitude and direction). Mass is the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location; weight is the gravitational force on the mass and is measured in newtons.
很多学生因混淆“速率”与“速度”或“质量”与“重量”而失分。速率是标量（只有大小），速度是矢量（既有大小也有方向）。质量是物体所含物质的多少，不随位置改变；重量是作用在质量上的引力，以牛顿为单位。
Another frequent error is assuming that a constant force produces constant speed on a distance-time graph. Constant force can produce constant acceleration, not constant speed. In graphs, a sloping straight line on a velocity-time graph indicates constant acceleration.
另一个常见错误是认为恒力会在距离–时间图上产生匀速运动。恒力可产生恒加速度，而非恒速度。在速度–时间图上，倾斜的直线表示恒加速度。
When writing energy explanations, always mention the start and end energy stores and the pathway of transfer. Never write 'energy is lost' — say 'energy is transferred to the thermal store of the surroundings'.
在解释能量时，务必说明起始和最终的能量储存以及转移途径。切勿写“能量消失了”——应写“能量转化为周围环境的内能”。
Keep a 'mistakes log' during your revision: write down each error, then note the correct explanation. Review this log before your test.
复习时准备一本“错题本”：记录每个错误，然后写上正确解释。考试前翻看错题本。
9. Practice Questions and Problem-Solving Tips | 练习题与解题技巧
Use past paper questions or worksheets for each topic. Begin with straightforward calculations to build confidence, then move to multi-step problems. For each question, follow this routine: identify what you know, write down the formula, substitute values, calculate and check units.
使用各主题的历年真题或练习卷。先做简单计算以建立信心，再过渡到多步问题。对每道题，按如下步骤求解：明确已知量，写出公式，代入数值，计算并检查单位。
For graph questions, remember to label axes, choose a sensible scale and plot points carefully. Draw the best-fit line rather than connecting dots. When describing a graph, state the trend and use data from the graph to support your statement.
对于作图题，记得标注坐标轴、选择合适的比例并小心描点。画出最佳拟合线，而非逐点连接。描述图像时，要说明趋势并用图中的数据支持你的表述。
If you get stuck, try drawing a diagram or breaking the problem into smaller parts. Check the mark scheme only after attempting the question fully. This helps you understand where you lose marks and how to improve.
如果遇到困难，尝试画草图或将问题分解为几个小部分。只有完整作答后再查看评分标准，这有助于你了解失分点并改进。
verage speed = 1500 ÷ 300 = 5 m/s. Now try one where you convert minutes to seconds first.
示例题：一名自行车骑手在300秒内行驶了1500米。计算她的平均速度。答案：平均速度 = 1500 ÷ 300 = 5 m/s。现在尝试一道需要先将分钟转换为秒的题目。
10. Mock Test and Self-Assessment | 模拟测试与自我评估
At the end of the six-week plan, take a full mock paper under timed conditions. This will help you manage your time and identify any remaining weak areas. After the test, mark your paper honestly and work out your percentage score.
六周计划结束后，在计时条件下完成一套完整的模拟试卷。这有助于你掌握时间管理并找出仍存在的薄弱环节。测试后，诚实地批改试卷并计算分数百分比。
Focus your final review on the topics where you scored lowest. Rewrite key definitions, equations and diagrams. Teach each topic to a family member or study partner — teaching is one of the most effective ways to learn.
最后复习要集中在得分最低的主题上。重写关键定义、公式和图表。将每个主题讲给家人或学习伙伴听——教授他人是最有效的学习方式之一。
Create a one-page summary sheet for each topic, listing the most important facts, formulas and common errors. These sheets will be very useful for a quick reminder just before an exam.
为每个主题制作一页总结表，列出最重要的事实、公式和常见错误。这些总结表在考前快速回顾时将非常有用。
Remember that consistent, short revision sessions are far more effective than cramming. A little physics every day will make a huge difference.
请记住，持续短时的复习远比突击填鸭有效。每天学一点物理，效果会天差地别。
