1. Cells and Microscopes | 细胞与显微镜
All living organisms are composed of cells. A cell is the smallest functional and structural unit of life. Animal cells contain a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and mitochondria, while plant cells also have a cell wall, a large permanent vacuole, and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
所有生物体均由细胞构成。细胞是生命最小的功能与结构单位。动物细胞含有细胞核、细胞质、细胞膜和线粒体，而植物细胞还含有细胞壁、一个中央大液泡以及用于光合作用的叶绿体。
To observe these tiny structures, we use light microscopes. The total magnification is calculated by multiplying the eyepiece lens magnification by the objective lens magnification. A specimen must be placed on a slide, often with a coverslip, and may be stained to make structures more visible.
为了观察这些微小结构，我们使用光学显微镜。总放大倍数等于目镜放大倍数乘以物镜放大倍数。样本须置于载玻片上，常加盖盖玻片，并可进行染色以使结构更清晰可见。
2. Organisation in Organisms | 生物体的组织结构
Cells are organised into tissues, tissues into organs, and organs into organ systems. A tissue is a group of similar cells working together, such as muscle tissue. An organ contains several tissues performing a specific job, like the stomach. Organ systems, such as the digestive system, are groups of organs that work together.
细胞组成组织，组织构成器官，器官再形成器官系统。组织是一群相似且共同工作的细胞，例如肌肉组织。器官则包含多种组织，执行特定功能，如胃。器官系统，如消化系统，是一组协同工作的器官。
The human skeleton provides support, protection, and movement. Muscles work in antagonistic pairs—when one contracts, the other relaxes. Joints allow bones to move; synovial joints are lubricated by synovial fluid to reduce friction.
人体骨骼提供支撑、保护和运动功能。肌肉成对拮抗工作——一块收缩时，另一块放松。关节使骨骼得以活动；滑液关节由滑液润滑以减少摩擦。
3. Photosynthesis and Respiration | 光合作用与呼吸作用
d by chlorophyll. The summary word equation is: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen.
光合作用是植物利用叶绿素捕获的光能，将二氧化碳和水转化为葡萄糖和氧气的过程。其文字方程式可概括为：二氧化碳 + 水 → 葡萄糖 + 氧气。
Respiration is how all living cells release energy from glucose. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water, releasing a relatively large amount of energy. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen; in humans, it produces lactic acid, while in yeast, it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.
呼吸作用是所有活细胞从葡萄糖中释放能量的方式。有氧呼吸需要氧气，产生二氧化碳和水，并释放较多能量。无氧呼吸在无氧条件下进行；人体内产生乳酸，而酵母则产生乙醇和二氧化碳。
4. Particle Nature of Matter | 物质的粒子性质
All matter is made of tiny particles. The particle model explains the differences between solids, liquids, and gases. In solids, particles are closely packed in a regular arrangement and vibrate in fixed positions. In liquids, particles are close but can move past each other. In gases, particles are far apart and move rapidly in all directions.
所有物质均由微小粒子构成。粒子模型解释了固体、液体和气体的区别。固体中，粒子紧密排列成规则结构，并在固定位置振动。液体中，粒子接近但能相互滑动。气体中，粒子相距很远，朝各个方向快速运动。
Changes of state occur when energy is transferred to or from a substance. Melting, boiling, and evaporating are processes where energy is gained; condensing and freezing occur when energy is removed. The mass of a substance stays the same during a change of state because the number of particles remains unchanged.
当物质吸收或释放能量时，会发生状态变化。熔化、沸腾和蒸发是吸收能量的过程；凝结和凝固则是释放能量。状态变化过程中物质的质量保持不变，因为粒子数量不变。
5. Atoms, Elements, and Compounds | 原子、元素与化合物
An element is a substance made of only one type of atom. All known elements are listed in the Periodic Table. A compound contains two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded together. For example, water (H₂O) is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen.
元素是仅由一种原子组成的物质。所有已知元素都列在元素周期表中。化合物含有两种或多种不同原子，并通过化学键结合。例如，水 (H₂O) 是氢和氧的化合物。
Chemical symbols represent elements, and chemical formulas show the type and number of atoms in a compound. A mixture is different from a compound: components in a mixture are not chemically bonded and can be separated by physical techniques such as filtration, distillation, or chromatography.
化学符号代表元素，化学式表示化合物中原子的种类和数目。混合物与化合物不同：混合物中的组分没有化学键结合，可以通过过滤、蒸馏或色谱等物理方法进行分离。
6. Chemical Reactions and Equations | 化学反应与方程式
In a chemical reaction, new substances are formed and the process is usually irreversible. Signs of a chemical reaction include colour change, temperature change, gas production (bubbles), and precipitate formation. The total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products—this is the law of conservation of mass.
在化学反应中，会生成新物质，且过程通常是不可逆的。化学反应的迹象包括颜色改变、温度变化、气体产生（气泡）和沉淀生成。反应物的总质量等于生成物的总质量——这就是质量守恒定律。
use chemical formulas and must be balanced so that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides.
文字方程式用物质名称表示反应物和生成物。例如：镁 + 氧气 → 氧化镁。符号方程式使用化学式，且必须配平，以确保每种元素的原子数目在两端相等。
7. Acids and Alkalis | 酸和碱
Acids have a pH less than 7, and alkalis have a pH greater than 7. Neutral substances, like pure water, have a pH of 7. The pH scale is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H⁺) in a solution. Common acids include hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). Household alkalis include sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
酸的 pH 值小于 7，碱的 pH 值大于 7。中性物质如纯水的 pH 值为 7。pH 标度用来衡量溶液中氢离子 (H⁺) 的浓度。常见酸包括盐酸 (HCl) 和硫酸 (H₂SO₄)。家用碱包含氢氧化钠 (NaOH)。
Indicators change colour in acids and alkalis. Universal indicator gives a range of colours across the pH scale, from red (strong acid) to violet (strong alkali). Neutralisation is the reaction between an acid and an alkali, producing a salt and water.
指示剂在酸和碱中会改变颜色。通用指示剂随 pH 值呈现彩虹色，从红色（强酸）到紫色（强碱）。中和反应是酸与碱之间的反应，生成盐和水。
8. Forces and Motion | 力与运动
A force is a push or a pull, measured in newtons (N). Forces can change the speed, direction, or shape of an object. When two forces are balanced, the object remains at rest or continues moving at a constant speed. Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion (acceleration or deceleration).
力是推或拉的作用，单位为牛顿 (N)。力可以改变物体的速度、方向或形状。当两力平衡时，物体保持静止或匀速直线运动。非平衡力导致运动状态改变（加速或减速）。
ts towards the centre of the Earth. Weight is the force of gravity acting on a mass, calculated by: Weight (N) = mass (kg) × gravitational field strength (N/kg).
摩擦力是阻碍运动的力。空气阻力和水阻力都是摩擦力。重力是一种非接触力，将物体向地球中心吸引。重量是作用在质量上的重力，计算公式为：重量 (N) = 质量 (kg) × 引力场强度 (N/kg)。
9. Energy Stores and Transfers | 能量储存与转移
Energy can be stored in various ways: kinetic, thermal, chemical, gravitational potential, elastic potential, and nuclear. Energy is transferred between these stores when processes occur. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
能量可以多种方式储存：动能、热能、化学能、重力势能、弹性势能和核能。当过程发生时，能量在这些储存库之间转移。能量守恒定律指出，能量不能被创造或消灭，只能转移或转化。
Energy can be transferred by heating, by doing work (mechanically), or by waves (radiation and sound). When a ball is dropped, gravitational potential energy is transferred to kinetic energy. In a stretched spring, elastic potential energy is stored.
能量可通过加热、做功（机械方式）或波（辐射与声波）进行转移。球下落时，重力势能转化为动能。被拉伸的弹簧储存了弹性势能。
10. Electric Circuits | 电路
An electric current is the flow of electric charge, usually carried by electrons in a wire. Current is measured in amperes (A) using an ammeter connected in series. Voltage (potential difference) is measured in volts (V) using a voltmeter connected in parallel. Resistance, measured in ohms (Ω), describes how much a component opposes the flow of current.
电流是电荷的流动，通常由导线中的电子承载。电流以安培 (A) 为单位，用串联的安培表测量。电压（电势差）以伏特 (V) 为单位，用并联的伏特表测量。电阻以欧姆 (Ω) 为单位，表示元件对电流的阻碍程度。
In a series circuit, there is only one path for current; if one component fails, the circuit is broken. In a parallel circuit, each branch has its own path. Conductors, such as metals, allow current to flow easily; insulators, like plastic, prevent it.
串联电路中只有一条电流通路；若一个元件损坏，电路即中断。并联电路中每个支路有各自的通路。导体如金属允许电流轻易通过；绝缘体如塑料则阻碍电流。
11. Waves: Sound and Light | 波：声与光
Waves transfer energy without transferring matter. Transverse waves, such as light and water waves, vibrate perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Longitudinal waves, like sound waves, vibrate parallel to the direction of energy transfer, creating compressions and rarefactions.
波传递能量而不传递物质。横波如光波和水波，振动方向与能量传递方向垂直。纵波如声波，振动方向与能量传递方向平行，形成疏密相间的压缩区和稀疏区。
irrors and refracted when it passes from one medium to another. The speed of light in a vacuum is about 3×10⁸ m/s.
声音在固体中传播最快，液体中次之，气体中最慢。光沿直线传播，能被镜面反射，并在从一种介质进入另一种介质时发生折射。光在真空中的速度约为 3×10⁸ m/s。
