1. Exam Structure and Marking Scheme | 考试结构与评分方案
IGCSE Science typically consists of three papers: a multiple-choice paper (Paper 1 or 2), a theory paper (Paper 3 or 4), and a practical assessment (Paper 5: Practical Test or Paper 6: Alternative to Practical). Know which components you will sit.
IGCSE 科学通常包含三份试卷:一份选择题卷 (Paper 1 或 2)、一份理论卷 (Paper 3 或 4) 和一份实验评估 (Paper 5: 实验操作考试 或 Paper 6: 替代实验)。明确你将要参加的试卷。
The multiple-choice paper accounts for 30% of the total marks. It tests broad knowledge and quick recall. Each question carries equal weight, so do not spend too long on any one item.
选择题卷占总分的 30%。它考察广泛的知识和快速回忆。每题分值相等,不要在某一道题上花费过多时间。
The theory paper is worth 50% and includes short-answer and longer structured questions. Command words like ‘describe’, ‘explain’, ‘calculate’ and ‘suggest’ require different approaches – pay close attention to them.
理论卷占 50%,包含简答题和较长的结构化问题。指令词如 ‘describe (描述)’、’explain (解释)’、’calculate (计算)’ 和 ‘suggest (建议)’ 要求不同的作答方式——务必仔细留意。
The practical paper (either hands-on or written alternative) accounts for the remaining 20%. It evaluates your ability to design experiments, record data, draw graphs, and draw valid conclusions.
实验考试(实际操作或书面替代)占剩下的 20%。它评估你设计实验、记录数据、绘制图表和得出结论的能力。
2. Key Physics Formulas and Concepts | 物理核心公式与概念
Memorize the essential equations for motion, forces, energy, waves, and electricity. Many are provided on the formula sheet, but rapid recall saves time.
熟记运动、力、能量、波和电学的基本公式。尽管许多公式会在公式表中提供,但快速回忆能节省时间。
Motion: average speed = total distance / total time (v = s / t). Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken (a = (v − u) / t). Be careful with units: m/s, m/s², and convert km/h to m/s by dividing by 3.6.
运动:平均速率 = 总路程 / 总时间 (v = s / t)。加速度 = 速度变化量 / 时间 (a = (v − u) / t)。注意单位:m/s、m/s²,将 km/h 转换为 m/s 需要除以 3.6。
Forces: Force = mass × acceleration (F = m × a). Weight = mass × gravitational field strength (W = m × g). On Earth, g ≈ 10 m/s². Understand that resultant force causes acceleration, and balanced forces maintain constant velocity or rest.
力:力 = 质量 × 加速度 (F = m × a)。重量 = 质量 × 引力场强度 (W = m × g)。地球上 g 约为 10 m/s²。理解合力产生加速度,而平衡力保持匀速或静止。
Energy: Kinetic energy = ½ × m × v²; Gravitational potential energy = m × g × h. Efficiency = useful energy output / total energy input × 100%.
能量:动能 = ½ × m × v²;重力势能 = m × g × h。效率 = 有用能量输出 / 总能量输入 × 100%。
Electricity: Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R). Power = V × I = I²R. In series circuits, current is the same, voltage divides. In parallel, voltage is the same, current divides.
电学:电压 (V) = 电流 (I) × 电阻 (R)。功率 = V × I = I²R。串联电路中电流处处相等,电压则分流;并联电路中电压相等,电流分流。
Waves: Wave speed = frequency × wavelength (v = f × λ). Know reflection, refraction (including Snell’s law n = sin i / sin r if applicable), and total internal reflection when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle.
波:波速 = 频率 × 波长 (v = f × λ)。掌握反射、折射(如适用,折射定律 n = sin i / sin r)以及当入射角大于临界角时的全内反射。
3. Essential Chemistry: Reactions, Moles, and Bonding | 化学必备:反应、摩尔与键合
Master balancing equations and using state symbols (s), (l), (g), (aq). For example: 2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s).
掌握配平化学方程式和使用状态符号 (s)、(l)、(g)、(aq)。例如:2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s)。
The mole concept is crucial. Number of moles = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol). At room temperature and pressure (RTP), 1 mole of any gas occupies 24 dm³. Use this to calculate gas volumes.
摩尔概念至关重要。摩尔数 = 质量 (g) / 摩尔质量 (g/mol)。在室温和常压下 (RTP),1 摩尔任何气体占据 24 dm³。用它来计算气体体积。
Know the four main reaction types: neutralization (acid + base → salt + water), precipitation, redox, and thermal decomposition. Learn tests for common gases: hydrogen pops with a lit splint; oxygen relights a glowing splint; carbon dioxide turns limewater milky; chlorine bleaches damp litmus paper.
了解四种主要反应类型:中和(酸+碱→盐+水)、沉淀、氧化还原和热分解。记住常见气体的检验:氢气遇燃着木条发出爆鸣声;氧气可使带火星木条复燃;二氧化碳使石灰水变浑浊;氯气使湿润石蕊试纸褪色。
Bonding: Ionic bonding involves electron transfer between metal and non-metal, forming a giant ionic lattice with high melting points. Covalent bonding involves electron sharing, forming simple molecules (e.g., H₂O, CO₂) or giant covalent structures (diamond, graphite, SiO₂). Graphite conducts electricity due to delocalized electrons.
键合:离子键涉及金属与非金属之间的电子转移,形成熔点高的巨型离子晶格。共价键涉及电子共用,形成简单分子(如 H₂O、CO₂)或巨型共价结构(金刚石、石墨、SiO₂)。石墨因离域电子而导电。
For rates of reaction: rate can be increased by higher temperature, higher concentration, larger surface area, or use of a catalyst. You must be able to interpret graphs of mass lost or volume of gas produced over time.
对于反应速率:升高温度、提高浓度、增大表面积或使用催化剂均可提高反应速率。你必须能够解读质量损失或气体产生量随时间变化的图表。
