1. Cells and Life Processes | 细胞与生命过程
Nucleus: The control centre of the cell, storing genetic material (DNA). Remember "nucleus" like the nucleus of an atom – it is the core that controls everything. Think "new-cleus" as the command centre.
细胞核：细胞的控制中心，储存遗传物质。记忆窍门：“核”就是核心，可以想象成细胞的大脑，所有指令都从这里发出。
Mitochondria: Organelles where aerobic respiration takes place, releasing energy for the cell. Trick: "Mighty mitochondria" sound like mighty power stations. Picture tiny beans pumping energy.

2. Particles and States of Matter | 微粒与物质状态
Solid: Particles are tightly packed in a regular pattern and vibrate on the spot. The word "solid" suggests something firm and locked – just like the particles.
固体：微粒紧密排列成规则结构，只能在原地振动。记住“固”定不动，微粒牢牢锁在位置上。
Liquid: Particles are close but can slide past each other, taking the shape of the container. Link "liquid" to "flow" – think of water flowing, particles gliding.
液体：微粒紧密但能彼此滑动，形状随容器改变。联想“流”动的水，微粒像溜冰者一样相互滑过。
Gas: Particles are far apart and move rapidly in all directions. Picture "gas" expanding like a released balloon; particles are free spirits.
气体：微粒相距很远，快速向各个方向运动。想象气球放气，气体微粒自由飞散。
Diffusion: Net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Think "DIFFusion" – particles move to reduce a "DIFFerence" in concentration.
扩散：微粒从高浓度区域向低浓度区域的净移动。巧记：“扩”散就是为了消除浓度“差”异，微粒自高向低铺开。
Sublimation: The change of state directly from solid to gas, skipping the liquid phase. Use "SUB-limination" – solid skips to gas, like dry ice.
升华：物质从固态直接变为气态，跳过液态。记住“升华”如干冰，固体直接“升”华为气体。
3. Elements, Compounds and Mixtures | 元素、化合物与混合物
Element: A pure substance made of only one type of atom, found on the Periodic Table. Think "elemental" – the simplest building blocks, just like the alphabet has single letters.
元素：由同一种原子组成的纯净物，在元素周期表上列出。比喻成字母表中的单个字母，是物质最基本的“字符”。
Compound: A substance containing two or more different elements chemically bonded together. The name "com-pound" can mean "put together" – chemically joined atoms forming a new substance with fixed proportions.
化合物：两种或多种不同元素通过化学键结合而成的物质。联想“复合” – 如同单词由字母组合而成，化合物有固定的元素比例。

摩擦力：阻碍两个接触面相对运动的力。联想“摩擦”生热，粗糙表面相互咬合，减缓运动。
bject when all forces are combined. If forces are balanced, resultant force is zero. Think "resultant" = the final result after adding all arrows.
合力：作用在物体上所有力的总和。如果所有力相互抵消，合力为零。记住所有箭头相加得到最终结果。
ed resultant force causes acceleration. Relate: net force = mass × acceleration (F = m a). "A" for acceleration happens when you "push a" car.
