1. Accuracy vs Precision | 准确度与精密度
Accuracy describes how close a measured value is to the true or accepted value, often affected by systematic errors in the apparatus or technique. A reading can be accurate but not precise if the instrument has poor resolution, resulting in values that fluctuate widely around the true value.
准确度表示测量值接近真实值或公认值的程度，常受仪器或方法中的系统误差影响。如果仪器分辨率较差，导致测量值在真实值附近大幅波动，则该数值可能准确但不精密。
Precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements, indicated by a small spread or standard deviation. In PH03 mark schemes, students are often credited for recognising that a set of readings with little scatter shows high precision, even if they are off-target due to a zero error.
精密度指重复测量结果的一致性，表现为较小的数据分散程度或标准差。PH03评分标准中，通常认可学生指出：即使因零点误差偏离目标值，数据间离散度小的一组读数仍体现出高精密度。
2. Systematic and Random Errors | 系统误差与随机误差
Systematic errors shift all readings in the same direction by a constant amount, causing a loss of accuracy. Examples include a balance that always reads 0.5 g too high or reading a liquid meniscus without eye-level alignment, producing parallax error.
系统误差会使所有读数朝相同方向偏移固定量，导致准确度下降。例子包括天平始终多读出0.5克，或者未保持视线水平读取液面弯月面高度而产生视差误差。
Random errors cause readings to scatter unpredictably on both sides of the mean due to factors such as timing reaction delay or fluctuating environmental conditions. Mark schemes expect candidates to explain that repeating measurements and averaging reduces the impact of random errors, but cannot eliminate systematic errors without calibration or method correction.
随机误差使读数在平均值两侧无规律散布，例如由反应时间延迟或环境条件波动引起。评分标准希望考生说明：重复测量求平均值可以减小随机误差的影响，但若不校准或改进方法，系统误差无法通过简单平均消除。
3. Resolution and Its Role in Uncertainty | 分辨率与不确定度
The resolution of an instrument is the smallest change it can detect, for example 1 mm on a metre rule or 0.01 mm on a micrometer. The mark scheme frequently awards marks for stating that the absolute uncertainty in a single reading is at least ± half the smallest scale division, sometimes written as ± resolution/2.
仪器分辨率是它能检测到的最小变化量，例如米尺的1 mm或螺旋测微器的0.01 mm。评分方案常将分数授予指出单次读数绝对不确定度至少为±最小分度值一半的考生，有时记为±分辨率/2。
For digital instruments like a digital ammeter, the uncertainty is often quoted as ± one unit in the last digit. When a value is read to 0.01 V, the absolute uncertainty is ± 0.01 V unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise or significant fluctuations are observed.
对于数字电流表等数字仪器，不确定度通常为±末位数字的一个单位。当读数可读到0.01 V时，绝对不确定度为±0.01 V，除非制造商有特别说明或观察到明显的读数波动。
4. Presenting Raw Data in Tables | 用表格呈现原始数据
Tables must have clear headings with units separated by a slash or brackets, e.g., ‘Length / cm’ or ‘Length (cm)’. The body of the table then contains numerical values only. Mark schemes penalise including units in the body or duplicating unit symbols in every cell.
表格必须有清晰的标题，并用斜线或括号分隔单位，如’Length / cm’或’Length (cm)’。表格主体仅填写数值。评分标准对于在单元格内重复填写单位或单位符号的做法会扣分。
All raw readings should be recorded to the same number of decimal places, consistent with the instrument’s resolution. When a value is exactly at a scale mark, trailing zeros are required to indicate that precision: 5.0 cm rather than 5 cm if the ruler measures to 0.1 cm.
所有原始读数应记录到相同的小数位数，与仪器分辨率一致。当读数值恰好落在刻度线上时，须用尾随零来表示精确度：若尺子可读到0.1 cm，就应记为5.0 cm而非5 cm。
5. Repeated Readings and Mean Calculation | 重复读数与平均值计算
A reliable mean is calculated after discarding anomalous readings, which can be identified by visual inspection or by using a simple outlier criterion. In PH03, dismissing a point without justification is rarely credited; a valid reason might be that a reading deviates by more than twice the typical spread from the mean of the other points.
可靠的平均值应在剔除异常读数后计算，异常值可通过肉眼观察或简单离群准则识别。在PH03中，没有合理理由就剔除数据点通常不被给分；一个有效的理由是某读数与其他点平均值的偏离超过了典型分散范围的两倍。
The calculated mean should be quoted with an appropriate number of significant figures. A common pitfall is to give more digits than the original data support; the mark scheme often expects the mean to be expressed to the same number of significant figures as the raw readings or to one extra if the readings exhibit low scatter.
计算所得平均值应以合适数量的有效数字表示。一个常见错误是给出的位数超过了原始数据所能支撑；评分标准通常期望平均值的有效数字位数与原始读数相同，或在数据分散度很小时多保留一位。
6. Plotting Graphs and Choosing Scales | 绘制图形与选择坐标尺度
Graphs should occupy at least half the available grid area in both directions. The scale must be linear and free of awkward divisions such as 3 or 7 per large square; scales like 2, 5, or multiples of 10 are preferred. Candidates gain marks for labelling axes with quantity names and units, e.g., ‘Temperature / °C’.
图形应在两个方向上都至少占据可用网格面积的一半。坐标尺度必须是线性的，并且避免采用不便的分度，例如每大格代表3或7；首选2、5或10的倍数尺度。正确标注坐标轴名称与单位，如’温度 / °C’，可获得相应分数。
Each plotted point must be clearly visible, typically drawn as a small cross or a dot surrounded by a circle. Error bars show the absolute uncertainty in the quantity: vertical bars represent uncertainty in the y-quantity, and horizontal bars (if required) show uncertainty in x.
每个数据点必须清晰可见，通常画成小十字或带圆圈的点。误差棒则表示该物理量的绝对不确定度：纵向误差棒代表y量的不确定度，横向误差棒（如果需要）表示x量的不确定度。
7. Best-Fit Lines and Outlier Analysis | 最佳拟合线与异常值分析
A line of best fit may be a straight line or a smooth curve, passing as closely as possible to all plotted points while balancing points slightly above and below the line. The mark scheme checks that the line is not forced through the origin unless the physical relationship demands proportionality.
最佳拟合线可以是直线或平滑曲线，需尽可能贴近所有数据点，同时使线上方和线下方的点数大致均衡。评分标准会检查该线是否在物理关系不要求过原点时强行通过了原点。
Outliers identifiable on the graph (points lying far off the trend) should be ignored when drawing the best-fit line, but the candidate is sometimes expected to circle the anomalous point and comment on its possible cause. Ignoring an outlier without annotation can limit marks for data analysis.
在绘图时，图中可辨识的异常值（远离趋势的点）在画最佳拟合线时应当忽略，但有时还要求考生圈出该异常点并评注其可能成因。忽略异常值却不作注释可能在数据分析部分丢失分数。
8. Determining Slope and Its Uncertainty | 求斜率及其不确定度
The gradient of a straight-line graph is determined using a large triangle whose vertices lie on the best-fit line, not on data points. The formula m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) is applied, and the result must be given with appropriate units and significant figures.
直线图的斜率应通过一个较大的三角形求解，该三角形的顶点落在最佳拟合线上，而非数据点之上。使用公式 m = (y₂ − y₁) / (x₂ − x₁) 计算，且结果须带上恰当的单位和有效数字。
To estimate the uncertainty in the gradient Δm, many mark schemes accept the ‘worst-fit’ method: draw the steepest and shallowest reasonable straight lines that still pass through the error bars, then calculate Δm = (m_max − m_min) / 2. The final gradient is reported as m ± Δm.
为估计斜率的不确定度Δm，许多评分标准认可“最劣拟合”法：分别画出通过误差棒的合理的最陡和最平直的直线，然后计算 Δm = (m_max − m_min) / 2。最终斜率报告为 m ± Δm。
9. Percentage Uncertainty and Combining Uncertainties | 百分不确定度与不确定度合成
Percentage uncertainty is calculated as (absolute uncertainty / measured value) × 100%. When two quantities are added or subtracted, their absolute uncertainties add in quadrature or simply added for an overestimate. The mark scheme frequently instructs examiners to accept either method, provided the candidate states their reasoning.
百分不确定度按 (绝对不确定度 / 测量值) × 100% 计算。当两个量相加或相减时，绝对不确定度可以平方和根法合成或直接相加给出保守估计。评分标准常允许两种方法，只要考生说明理由即可。
For multiplication or division, percentage uncertainties are added. For example, if density = mass / volume and mass carries a 2% uncertainty while volume has a 3% uncertainty, the density’s percentage uncertainty is roughly 2% + 3% = 5%. Students may be asked to apply these rules to justify the number of significant figures in a final calculated result.
对于乘除运算，百分不确定度相加。例如，若密度 = 质量 / 体积，质量的不确定度为2%，体积的不确定度为3%，则密度的百分不确定度约为 2% + 3% = 5%。学生或需应用这些规则来解释最终计算结果的有效数字位数。
10. Evaluating the Experiment and Suggesting Improvements | 实验评估与改进建议
Evaluation questions ask candidates to identify a major source of uncertainty and to rank its impact. Answers referring to a specific piece of equipment with a small resolution often gain credit, particularly if the candidate calculates the percentage uncertainty and shows it dominates the total uncertainty.
评估题要求考生识别主要不确定度来源并说明其影响大小。提到分辨率较低的具体仪器，并计算其百分不确定度且证明该不确定度在总不确定度中占主导的回答通常容易得分。
Improvements must be practical and linked to the identified problem. For instance, measuring a short length with a metre rule leads to a large percentage uncertainty; the mark scheme rewards suggesting a vernier caliper or micrometer instead. Merely stating ‘measure more carefully’ is not credited.
改进措施必须具有可操作性并与识别出的问题关联。例如，用米尺测量短长度会造成较大的百分不确定度；评分标准认可改用游标卡尺或螺旋测微器的建议。仅仅表述“更仔细地测量”不会得分。
11. Realistic Justifications and Safety Considerations | 符合实际的论证与安全注意事项
When a candidate is asked why a particular control variable was maintained, the response should link the variable to the physics of the system, e.g., keeping the temperature constant when investigating a thermistor’s resistance because resistance varies significantly with temperature.
当被问及为何要控制某个特定变量时，回答应将该变量与系统的物理原理相联系，比如在研究热敏电阻时保持温度恒定，因为电阻随温度变化明显。
Safety precautions must also be context-appropriate. A mark scheme for an electrical circuit experiment might accept a statement like ‘avoid using bare wires to prevent electric shock’ but would not credit an irrelevant reference to wearing goggles unless chemicals are involved. Demonstrating awareness of real risks is examined in PH03.
安全防范措施也须切合实际情境。电路实验的评分标准可能接受“避免使用裸线以防触电”，但若无化学品参与却提及佩戴护目镜则不给分。PH03考查展现真实风险意识的能力。
12. Data Interpretation and Conclusion Writing | 数据解释与结论撰写
The mark scheme values conclusions that are supported by quantitative evidence. Instead of ‘the graph shows a straight line’, a high-scoring answer would be ‘the data produce a straight line through the origin, confirming that current is directly proportional to voltage and thus Ohm’s law holds within this range, with a resistance of 220 ± 5 Ω.’
评分标准重视由定量证据支持的结论。高分回答不会仅写“图形呈直线”，而会是“数据生成一条通过原点的直线，确认电流与电压成正比，因此欧姆定律在此范围内成立，电阻为220 ± 5 Ω”。
Students must also comment on the validity of the conclusion by comparing with accepted values or by discussing the limitations. If a determined value for g is 9.3 ± 0.4 m s⁻², the candidate should note that 9.81 m s⁻² lies slightly outside the interval, suggesting a possible systematic error that was not fully corrected.
学生还需通过与公认值比较或讨论局限性来评述结论的有效性。如果测定的重力加速度 g 为 9.3 ± 0.4 m s⁻²，考生应指出9.81 m s⁻²略超出该区间，暗示可能存在未完全修正的系统误差。
