1. Cells and Organisation | 细胞与组织结构
All living organisms are made of cells, which can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and membrane‑bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts (in plants) and ribosomes. Prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, lack a nucleus and have their genetic material free in the cytoplasm. Under a light microscope, you can observe differences between plant and animal cells: plant cells have a rigid cell wall, a large permanent vacuole and often chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
所有生物体都由细胞组成，细胞可分为原核细胞和真核细胞。真核细胞含有细胞核以及膜结合的细胞器，例如线粒体、叶绿体（植物）和核糖体。原核细胞（如细菌）没有细胞核，遗传物质游离在细胞质中。在光学显微镜下，你可以观察到植物细胞和动物细胞的区别：植物细胞有坚硬的细胞壁、一个大液泡，并且通常含有用于光合作用的叶绿体。
- Specialised cells: Red blood cells (no nucleus, carry oxygen), root hair cells (large surface area for water absorption), ciliated cells (move mucus).
- Levels of organisation: cells → tissues → organs → organ systems → organism.
- Diffusion: net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration; vital for gas exchange and nutrient uptake.
- 特化细胞：红细胞（无细胞核，运输氧气）、根毛细胞（大表面积吸收水分）、纤毛细胞（移动黏液）。
- 组织层次：细胞 → 组织 → 器官 → 器官系统 → 生物体。
- 扩散：粒子从高浓度区域向低浓度区域的净移动；对气体交换和营养吸收至关重要。
2. Particle Theory and States of Matter | 粒子理论与物质状态
Matter is made of tiny particles that are constantly moving. The arrangement and movement of these particles determine whether a substance is a solid, liquid or gas. In solids, particles vibrate in fixed positions; in liquids, they are close together but can slide past each other; in gases, they are far apart and move rapidly in all directions. Changes of state—melting, freezing, boiling, condensation, sublimation—are physical changes where energy is transferred but the particles themselves remain the same.
物质由不断运动的微小粒子组成。这些粒子的排列和运动方式决定了物质是固体、液体还是气体。固体中粒子在固定位置振动；液体中粒子紧密排列但可以相互滑动；气体中粒子相距很远并向各个方向快速运动。状态变化——熔化、凝固、沸腾、冷凝、升华——都是物理变化，过程中能量发生转移但粒子本身保持不变。
| State 状态 | Particle arrangement 粒子排列 | Movement 运动 | Energy 能量 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solid 固体 | Regular, packed close | Vibrate in fixed positions | Low |
| Liquid 液体 | Random, close together | Slide past each other | Medium |
| Gas 气体 | Random, far apart | Move fast in all directions | High |
3. 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 elements are listed in the Periodic Table, where they are arranged by proton number. A compound is formed when two or more different elements chemically combine in fixed proportions. Compounds have properties different from the elements they are made from. For example, sodium (a reactive metal) and chlorine (a toxic gas) react to form sodium chloride (table salt), a harmless ionic compound.
元素是由同一种原子组成的物质。所有元素都列在周期表中，按质子数排列。化合物是由两种或两种以上不同元素以固定比例化学结合而成的物质。化合物的性质与组成它的元素不同。例如，钠（一种活泼金属）和氯（一种有毒气体）反应生成氯化钠（食盐），这是一种无害的离子化合物。
- Atoms contain protons (+1), neutrons (0) and electrons (−1). Protons and neutrons are in the nucleus; electrons orbit in shells.
- Atomic number = number of protons; Mass number = protons + neutrons.
- Mixtures (e.g. air, salt water) are not chemically combined and can be separated by physical methods like filtration, distillation or chromatography.
- 原子包含质子（+1）、中子（0）和电子（−1）。质子和中子在原子核内；电子在壳层中运动。
- 原子序数 = 质子数；质量数 = 质子数 + 中子数。
- 混合物（如空气、盐水）不是通过化学键结合的，可以通过过滤、蒸馏或色谱法等物理方法分离。
4. Chemical Reactions and Equations | 化学反应与方程式
Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances. Signs of a chemical reaction include colour change, temperature change, gas production and precipitate formation. Reactants are the starting substances; products are the substances formed. A word equation shows the names of reactants and products. A balanced symbol equation uses chemical symbols and shows conservation of mass—the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides.
化学反应涉及原子的重新排列以形成新物质。化学反应的迹象包括颜色变化、温度变化、气体生成和沉淀形成。反应物是起始物质；产物是生成的物质。文字方程式显示反应物和产物的名称。配平的符号方程式使用化学符号并体现质量守恒——各元素原子总数在方程式两边相等。
Example: 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
示例：2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO
- Exothermic reactions release energy (e.g. combustion, respiration); endothermic reactions absorb energy (e.g. photosynthesis).
- Oxidation: reacting with oxygen; reduction: loss of oxygen or gain of electrons.
- 放热反应释放能量（如燃烧、呼吸作用）；吸热反应吸收能量（如光合作用）。
- 氧化：与氧反应；还原：失去氧或得到电子。
5. Forces and Motion | 力与运动
leration; balanced forces keep an object at rest or moving at constant speed. Friction is a force that opposes motion and can be useful (e.g. walking) or unwanted (e.g. wearing down machine parts). Gravity is the force of attraction between masses; weight is the gravitational force on an object and is calculated by W = mg, where g ≈ 10 N/kg on Earth.
力是能改变物体速度、方向或形状的推或拉，单位为牛顿（N）。非平衡力导致加速；平衡力使物体保持静止或匀速运动。摩擦力是阻碍运动的力，可以是有益的（例如走路）或有害的（例如磨损机器零件）。重力是质量之间的吸引力；重量是作用在物体上的重力，通过 W = mg 计算，其中地球上 g ≈ 10 N/kg。
- Speed = distance ÷ time; Velocity includes direction.
- Scalars: magnitude only (e.g. speed, mass, time); Vectors: magnitude and direction (e.g. velocity, force).
- Newton’s First Law (Inertia): an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
- 速率 = 距离 ÷ 时间；速度包含方向。
- 标量：只有大小（如速率、质量、时间）；矢量：有大小和方向（如速度、力）。
- 牛顿第一定律（惯性定律）：物体将保持静止或匀速直线运动状态，除非受到外力作用。
6. Energy Transfers and Conservation | 能量转移与守恒
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred, stored or dissipated. In any energy transfer, some energy is always lost as heat to the surroundings. The main energy stores are kinetic, thermal, chemical, gravitational potential, elastic potential, nuclear and electrostatic. Devices transfer energy from one store to another; Sankey diagrams show how much of the input energy is usefully transferred and how much is wasted.
能量既不能被创造也不能被消灭，只能被转移、储存或耗散。在任何能量转移中，总有一部分能量以热的形式散失到周围环境中。主要的能量储存形式包括动能、热能、化学能、重力势能、弹性势能、核能和静电能。设备将能量从一种储存形式转移到另一种；桑基图显示了输入能量中有多少被有效转移，有多少被浪费。
- Conduction: heat transfer in solids via vibrating particles; Convection: heat transfer in fluids via movement of particles; Radiation: transfer by infrared waves, can travel through a vacuum.
- Renewable energy sources: solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, geothermal; Non‑renewable: fossil fuels, nuclear.
- 传导：固体中通过粒子振动传热；对流：流体中通过粒子运动传热；辐射：通过红外波传热，可在真空中进行。
- 可再生能源：太阳能、风能、水力、潮汐能、地热能；不可再生能源：化石燃料、核能。
7. Electricity and Circuits | 电学与电路
fference (voltage, V) is measured in volts (V) using a voltmeter placed in parallel and provides the push that drives the current. Resistance (R) opposes current and is measured in ohms (Ω). Ohm’s Law states: V = I × R for a conductor at constant temperature.
电流是电荷的流动（金属中是电子）。电流（I）的单位是安培（A），使用串联的电流表测量。电势差（电压，V）的单位是伏特（V），使用并联的电压表测量，它提供驱动电流的推力。电阻（R）阻碍电流，单位是欧姆（Ω）。欧姆定律指出：对于温度恒定的导体，V = I × R。
| Circuit Symbol 电路符号 | Component 元件 | Function 功能 |
|---|---|---|
| —Cell— | Cell/Battery | Provides energy |
| —Switch— | Switch | Completes or breaks circuit |
| —Lamp— | Lamp | Converts electrical → light/heat |
- Series circuits: current same everywhere, voltage shared; Parallel circuits: current splits, voltage same across branches.
- Safety: Fuses and circuit breakers prevent overheating; insulation prevents shocks.
- 串联电路：各点电流相同，电压分配；并联电路：电流分流，各支路电压相同。
- 安全：保险丝和断路器防止过热；绝缘防止触电。
8. Acids, Alkalis and pH | 酸、碱与pH
Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions (H⁺) in water; common laboratory acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Alkalis are soluble bases that release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) in water, such as sodium hydroxide. The pH scale (0–14) measures acidity: pH <7 is acidic, pH 7 is neutral, pH >7 is alkaline. Universal indicator or pH probes can be used to determine pH.
酸是在水中释放氢离子（H⁺）的物质；常见的实验室酸包括盐酸、硫酸和硝酸。碱是可溶的碱，在水中释放氢氧根离子（OH⁻），如氢氧化钠。pH标度（0–14）测量酸碱性：pH<7为酸性，pH=7为中性，pH>7为碱性。可以使用通用指示剂或pH计测定pH值。
Neutralisation: Acid + Alkali → Salt + Water (e.g. HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O)
中和反应：酸 + 碱 → 盐 + 水 （如 HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O）
- Metal + Acid → Salt + Hydrogen gas; Carbonate + Acid → Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide.
- Daily examples: stomach acid (HCl), indigestion tablets (base), acid rain (sulfur dioxide dissolving in rain).
- 金属 + 酸 → 盐 + 氢气；碳酸盐 + 酸 → 盐 + 水 + 二氧化碳。
- 生活实例：胃酸（HCl）、消食片（碱）、酸雨（二氧化硫溶于雨水）。
9. Photosynthesis and Plant Nutrition | 光合作用与植物营养
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using light energy absorbed by chlorophyll. This occurs in chloroplasts, mainly in leaves. The glucose produced can be converted into starch for storage, cellulose for cell walls, or used in respiration to release energy. The balanced equation shows the reactants and products.
光合作用是绿色植物利用叶绿素吸收的光能，将二氧化碳和水转化为葡萄糖和氧气的过程。这一过程发生在叶绿体中，主要位于叶片内。生成的葡萄糖可以转化为淀粉储存、纤维素构建细胞壁，或用于呼吸作用释放能量。配平的方程式展示了反应物和生成物。
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ (light energy / 叶绿素)
- Limiting factors: light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature. At low levels, any of these can slow the rate of photosynthesis.
- Destarching a leaf and testing with iodine can prove starch is produced during photosynthesis. Variegated leaves show that only green parts produce starch.
- 限制因素：光照强度、二氧化碳浓度、温度。在较低水平下，其中任何一项都可能降低光合作用速率。
- 将叶片脱淀粉并用碘液测试可以证明光合作用产生了淀粉。斑叶实验表明只有绿色部分能产生淀粉。
10. Ecosystems and Feeding Relationships | 生态系统与食物关系
An ecosystem is a community of living organisms interacting with each other and their non‑living environment. Energy enters most ecosystems through sunlight captured by producers (green plants). Food chains and webs show feeding relationships, with arrows indicating the direction of energy flow. Producers are eaten by primary consumers (herbivores), which are eaten by secondary consumers (carnivores or omnivores). Decomposers break down dead material, recycling nutrients.
生态系统是生物群落与其非生物环境相互作用形成的整体。能量通过生产者（绿色植物）捕获阳光进入大多数生态系统。食物链和食物网展示捕食关系，箭头表示能量流动的方向。生产者被初级消费者（食草动物）取食，初级消费者又被次级消费者（食肉或杂食动物）取食。分解者分解死物质，回收养分。
- Key terms: population (one species in an area), community (all species in an area), habitat (where an organism lives).
- Bioaccumulation: toxins accumulate along food chains, reaching highest concentrations in top predators.
- Carbon cycle: carbon moves between atmosphere, organisms and fossil fuels via photosynthesis, respiration, combustion and decomposition.
- 关键术语：种群（某区域同一物种）、群落（某区域所有物种）、栖息地（生物居住地）。
- 生物累积：毒素沿着食物链积累，在顶级捕食者体内浓度最高。
- 碳循环：碳通过光合作用、呼吸作用、燃烧和分解在大气、生物体和化石燃料之间移动。
11. The Periodic Table and Group Trends | 周期表与族趋势
The Periodic Table organises elements by increasing atomic number. Vertical columns are called groups; elements in the same group have the same number of outer electrons and similar chemical properties. Group 1 (alkali metals) are soft, highly reactive metals that react vigorously with water to form alkaline solutions and hydrogen gas. Group 7 (halogens) are reactive non‑metals; reactivity decreases down the group. Group 0 (noble gases) are unreactive because their outer shells are full.
周期表按原子序数递增排列元素。纵列称为族；同族元素外层电子数相同，化学性质相似。第1族（碱金属）是质软、反应性极强的金属，与水剧烈反应生成碱性溶液和氢气。第7族（卤素）是反应性较强的非金属；反应性从上到下递减。第0族（稀有气体）因最外层电子已满而不易反应。
- Metals vs Non‑metals: metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions (cations); non‑metals gain electrons to form negative ions (anions).
- Transition metals: typical metallic properties, often form coloured compounds and act as catalysts.
- Reactivity Series: a list of metals in order of their reactivity; potassium most reactive, gold least.
- 金属与非金属：金属倾向于失去电子形成阳离子；非金属得到电子形成阴离子。
- 过渡金属：典型金属性质，常形成有色化合物并用作催化剂。
- 反应性顺序：金属按反应性排列的列表；钾最活泼，金最不活泼。
12. Waves: Light and Sound | 波：光与声
d, liquid or gas). The speed of light in a vacuum is 3 × 10⁸ m/s, much faster than sound (about 340 m/s in air). Reflection, refraction and dispersion are key phenomena. The law of reflection states: angle of incidence (i) = angle of reflection (r).
光和声都是波。光是一种可以在真空中传播的横波；声是一种需要介质（固体、液体或气体）的纵波。光在真空中的速度为 3 × 10⁸ m/s，远快于声音（空气中约 340 m/s）。反射、折射和色散是关键现象。反射定律指出：入射角（i）等于反射角（r）。
- Sound: frequency (pitch, measured in Hz), amplitude (loudness, measured in decibels). Human hearing range: 20 Hz – 20 000 Hz.
- Light: spectrum of colours (ROYGBIV), white light can be dispersed by a prism. Objects appear coloured because they reflect that colour and absorb others.
- 声音：频率（音高，单位赫兹）、振幅（响度，单位分贝）。人耳听觉范围：20 Hz – 20 000 Hz。
- 光：光谱颜色（红橙黄绿蓝靛紫），白光可通过棱镜色散。物体呈现颜色是因为它们反射该颜色并吸收其他颜色。
