4. Mechanical Systems and Forces | 机械系统与力
Mechanical systems allow us to transmit and control motion and force. Year 10 introduces levers, linkages, pulleys, and gear trains. You will learn how to calculate mechanical advantage and velocity ratio, which are fundamental in designing efficient machines.
机械系统使我们能够传递和控制运动和力。十年级将介绍杠杆、连杆、滑轮和齿轮系。你将学习如何计算机械效益和速度比，这些都是设计高效机器的基础。
Mechanical Advantage (MA) = Load ÷ Effort
For a simple gear train, the velocity ratio depends on the number of teeth on the driven gear (N₂) compared to the driver gear (N₁):
Velocity Ratio (VR) = N₂ ÷ N₁
中文：对于简单齿轮系，机械效益（MA）= 负载 ÷ 作用力。速度比（VR）取决于从动齿轮齿数（N₂）与主动齿轮齿数（N₁）之比：VR = N₂ ÷ N₁。
You will also study moments and equilibrium. The principle of moments states that for a system to be balanced, the sum of clockwise moments must equal the sum of anticlockwise moments about a pivot. This is expressed as:
F₁ × d₁ = F₂ × d₂
其中 F 代表力，d 代表到支点的垂直距离。理解这些概念能帮助你分析剪刀、扳手和起重机的力学性能。
5. Electronics and Control Systems | 电子与控制系统
Modern engineering relies heavily on electronic circuits to sense, process, and control outputs. In Year 10, you build circuits with components such as resistors, LEDs, transistors, and integrated circuits. You will learn to interpret circuit diagrams and calculate values using Ohm's Law.
现代工程在很大程度上依赖电子电路来感知、处理和控制输出。在十年级，你将使用电阻、LED、晶体管和集成电路等元件搭建电路。你将学会解读电路图并使用欧姆定律进行计算。
Ohm's Law: V = I × R
Voltage (V) in volts, current (I) in amperes, and resistance (R) in ohms form the basis of any circuit analysis. You will also explore potential dividers, which use two resistors to produce a reference voltage, and the 555 timer IC for creating oscillating or delay circuits.
电压（V）以伏特为单位，电流（I）以安培为单位，电阻（R）以欧姆为单位，构成了电路分析的基础。你还将探索分压器——利用两个电阻产生参考电压，以及 555 定时器集成电路，用于产生振荡或延时电路。
Input and output devices are key: an LDR (light-dependent resistor) or thermistor can sense environmental changes, while a transistor acts as a switch to drive a motor or buzzer. Your practical work will involve prototyping on breadboards and soldering onto printed circuit boards.
输入和输出器件是关键：LDR（光敏电阻）或热敏电阻可感知环境变化，而晶体管则充当开关以驱动电机或蜂鸣器。你的实践工作将包括在面包板上进行原型制作以及在印刷电路板上进行焊接。
6. Design and Manufacturing Processes | 设计与制造过程
Engineering is not just about ideas; it is about making those ideas into real, functional products. Year 10 introduces the iterative design process: researching, developing a specification, generating ideas, modelling, prototyping, testing, and evaluating. This cycle mirrors real industrial practice.
工程不仅仅是想法，更是将这些想法转化为真实的、功能性的产品。十年级介绍了迭代设计过程：研究、制定规格、产生创意、建模、制作原型、测试和评价。这一循环反映了真实的工业实践。
You will become familiar with a range of manufacturing techniques: cutting and shaping (sawing, filing, drilling), joining (welding, soldering, adhesives), and finishing (painting, polishing). Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is also introduced as a modern method of rapid prototyping.
你将熟悉一系列制造技术：切割与成形（锯、锉、钻）、连接（焊接、锡焊、粘合剂）以及表面处理（喷漆、抛光）。增材制造（即 3D 打印）作为现代快速成型方法也将被引入。
Quality control and quality assurance are embedded throughout. You will learn to use measuring instruments like vernier callipers and micrometers to check dimensions against tolerances specified in engineering drawings.
