1. Photosynthesis and Plant Transport | 光合作用与植物运输
Plants make their own food through photosynthesis, a process that converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using light energy trapped by chlorophyll. The overall word equation is: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen. In chemical symbols this reads: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in chloroplasts, mostly found in palisade mesophyll cells near the upper surface of the leaf.
植物通过光合作用制造自己的食物，这一过程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。总的文字方程式为：二氧化碳 + 水 → 葡萄糖 + 氧气。用化学符号表示为：6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂。光能被叶绿体中的叶绿素吸收，这些叶绿体主要分布在叶片上表面的栅栏叶肉细胞中。
The glucose produced is used immediately for respiration, converted into starch for storage, or used to make cellulose, proteins and lipids. Mineral ions such as nitrate and magnesium are absorbed from the soil and are essential for building amino acids and chlorophyll. Water and dissolved minerals move up the plant in xylem vessels through the transpiration stream, driven by evaporation from the leaves. Sucrose and amino acids are transported in both directions through phloem sieve tubes in a process called translocation.
产生的葡萄糖会立即用于呼吸作用，或转化为淀粉储存起来，或用来制造纤维素、蛋白质和脂类。硝酸盐和镁等矿物离子从土壤中吸收，对于合成氨基酸和叶绿素至关重要。水分和溶解的矿物质在蒸腾流的带动下沿木质部导管向上运输，动力来自叶片的水分蒸发。蔗糖和氨基酸则通过韧皮部筛管进行双向运输，这一过程称为运输作用。
2. Human Nutrition and the Digestive System | 人体营养与消化系统
A balanced diet supplies the seven classes of nutrient: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, water and dietary fibre. Large insoluble molecules are broken down by mechanical digestion (chewing, churning) and chemical digestion using enzymes. Amylase, produced in the salivary glands and pancreas, breaks starch into maltose. Proteases digest proteins into amino acids, and lipases break fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Bile, made in the liver and stored in the gall bladder, emulsifies fats and neutralises stomach acid.
均衡的饮食提供七类营养物质：碳水化合物、蛋白质、脂类、维生素、矿物质、水和膳食纤维。大分子不溶性物质通过机械消化（咀嚼、搅拌）和利用酶的化学消化被分解。唾液腺和胰腺分泌的淀粉酶将淀粉分解为麦芽糖。蛋白酶将蛋白质消化为氨基酸，脂肪酶将脂肪分解为脂肪酸和甘油。胆汁在肝脏中合成并储存在胆囊中，能乳化脂肪并中和胃酸。
Absorption of small, soluble molecules happens mainly in the small intestine, where villi provide a huge surface area. Each villus contains a lacteal for absorbing fatty acids and glycerol, and a dense capillary network for absorbing glucose and amino acids. The absorbed nutrients are carried to cells for respiration, growth and repair. Undigested food passes into the large intestine where water is reabsorbed, and faeces are formed before egestion.
小分子可溶性物质的吸收主要在小肠中进行，小肠的绒毛提供了巨大的表面积。每根绒毛都含有一条乳糜管用于吸收脂肪酸和甘油，以及密集的毛细血管网用于吸收葡萄糖和氨基酸。被吸收的营养物质被输送到细胞，用于呼吸、生长和修复。未消化的食物进入大肠，水分被重吸收，形成粪便后排出体外。
3. Respiration and Gas Exchange | 呼吸与气体交换
Aerobic respiration releases energy from glucose using oxygen. The word equation is: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ energy released). The balanced symbol equation is: C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O. This process occurs in mitochondria and supplies ATP for muscle contraction, cell division and maintaining body temperature.
有氧呼吸利用氧气从葡萄糖中释放能量。文字方程式为：葡萄糖 + 氧气 → 二氧化碳 + 水（+ 能量释放）。配平后的符号方程式为：C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O。这一过程在线粒体中进行，为肌肉收缩、细胞分裂和维持体温提供 ATP。
Anaerobic respiration in human muscle cells produces lactic acid and releases a much smaller amount of energy: glucose → lactic acid. In yeast, anaerobic respiration produces ethanol and carbon dioxide (fermentation). The human gas exchange system centres on the alveoli in the lungs – tiny air sacs surrounded by capillaries. Inhaled air travels down the trachea, bronchi and bronchioles; diffusion of oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out is driven by concentration gradients.
人体肌肉细胞的无氧呼吸会产生乳酸，并释放少量能量：葡萄糖 → 乳酸。酵母菌的无氧呼吸则产生乙醇和二氧化碳（发酵）。人体的气体交换系统以肺泡为中心——肺泡是被毛细血管包围的微小气囊。吸入的空气沿着气管、支气管和细支气管流动；氧气扩散进入血液、二氧化碳扩散排出，都由浓度梯度驱动。
4. Atoms, Elements and the Periodic Table | 原子、元素与周期表
All substances are made of atoms. An atom consists of a central nucleus containing protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral), surrounded by electrons (negatively charged) arranged in shells. The atomic number is the number of protons and identifies the element; mass number is the total of protons plus neutrons. Electrons fill shells in the sequence 2,8,8… for the first 20 elements, and the electronic configuration determines an element’s chemical behaviour.
所有物质都由原子构成。原子由一个含有质子（带正电荷）和中子（不带电）的中央原子核，以及按壳层排列的电子（带负电荷）组成。原子序数就是质子数，决定了元素种类；质量数是质子数与中子数之和。前20号元素的电子按2,8,8……的顺序填充壳层，电子排布决定了元素的化学行为。
The modern Periodic Table arranges elements in order of increasing atomic number. Vertical groups contain elements with the same number of outer-shell electrons and therefore similar chemical properties. Group 1 elements (alkali metals) are soft, highly reactive, and stored under oil; Group 7 elements (halogens) are diatomic non-metals whose reactivity decreases down the group; Group 0 elements (noble gases) are monatomic and unreactive because they have a full outer shell.
现代周期表按原子序数递增的顺序排列元素。同一纵列（族）的元素具有相同的最外层电子数，因此化学性质相似。第I族（碱金属）质地软、反应性极强，须保存在油中；第VII族（卤素）是双原子非金属，反应性随族序数增加而减弱；第0族（稀有气体）为单原子气体，因最外层电子已满而化学性质不活泼。
5. Chemical Reactions: Metals, Acids and Reactivity | 化学反应：金属、酸与反应活性
Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides, which are usually basic. A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its oxide or salt solution. The reactivity series lists metals from most reactive (potassium, sodium) to least reactive (gold, platinum). A common mnemonic helps recall the order: Please Stop Calling Me A Cute Zebra, In Time, Lead, Gold, Platinum.
金属与氧气反应生成通常呈碱性的金属氧化物。较活泼的金属能将较不活泼的金属从其氧化物或盐溶液中置换出来。金属活动性顺序按反应性从高到低排列（钾、钠……金、铂）。常用口诀帮助记忆：钾钠钙镁铝锌铁锡铅氢铜汞银铂金。
When a metal reacts with an acid, a salt and hydrogen gas are produced. For example, magnesium + hydrochloric acid → magnesium chloride + hydrogen. The balanced equation is: Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂. Neutralisation occurs when an acid reacts with an alkali to produce salt and water: HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O. The rate of a reaction can be increased by raising the temperature, increasing the concentration of a reactant, using a catalyst or increasing the surface area of a solid reactant.
金属与酸反应会生成盐和氢气。例如：镁 + 盐酸 → 氯化镁 + 氢气。配平方程式为：Mg + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂。酸与碱发生中和反应，生成盐和水：HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O。升高温度、增大反应物浓度、使用催化剂或增加固体反应物的表面积都能加快反应速率。
6. Forces, Speed and Motion | 力、速度与运动
A force is a push or a pull that can change the speed, direction or shape of an object. The unit of force is the newton (N). Resultant force causes acceleration; if the resultant force is zero, the object remains at rest or moves at constant velocity (Newton’s First Law). The relationship force = mass × acceleration (F = m × a) is Newton’s Second Law.
力是能改变物体速度、方向或形状的推或拉。力的单位是牛顿（N）。合力产生加速度；如果合力为零，物体将保持静止或匀速直线运动（牛顿第一定律）。力 = 质量 × 加速度（F = m × a）是牛顿第二定律。
Speed is calculated by dividing distance travelled by time taken. A distance–time graph with a straight diagonal line shows constant speed; a horizontal line shows stationary; a curve indicates acceleration or deceleration. Weight is the gravitational force on an object and is calculated by weight = mass × gravitational field strength (W = m × g, where on Earth g ≈ 9.8 N/kg). Friction opposes motion and can be reduced by lubrication or streamlining.
速度通过行驶距离除以所用时间计算。距离–时间图中，斜直线表示匀速运动；水平线表示静止；曲线则表明加速度或减速度。重量是作用在物体上的重力，可通过重量 = 质量 × 重力场强（W = m × g，地球上g ≈ 9.8 N/kg）计算。摩擦力阻碍运动，可通过润滑或流线型设计减小。
7. Electricity and Energy Transfers | 电路与能量转移
Electric current is a flow of electric charge, usually electrons in a metal wire. Current (I) is measured in amperes (A), potential difference (V) in volts (V), and resistance (R) in ohms (Ω). Ohm’s Law states that for a resistor at constant temperature, V = I × R. In series circuits, current is the same everywhere, supply voltage is shared, and total resistance increases as more components are added. In parallel circuits, current splits while voltage across each branch is equal to the supply, and adding branches decreases total resistance.
电流是电荷的流动，通常是金属导线中电子的流动。电流（I）以安培（A）为单位，电压（V）以伏特（V）为单位，电阻（R）以欧姆（Ω）为单位。欧姆定律指出，对于恒温条件下的电阻，V = I × R。串联电路中，各处电流相等，电源电压被各元件分担，总电阻随元件增加而增大。并联电路中，电流在各支路分配，各支路两端电压等于电源电压，增加支路会减小总电阻。
Energy can be stored in many forms (chemical, kinetic, gravitational potential, thermal, elastic) and is transferred between stores when a change happens. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. Electrical energy is transferred by moving charges and can be calculated by energy transferred = power × time or E = V × I × t. Sankey diagrams show energy transfers, with waste energy shown as downward arrows.
能量可以多种形式储存（化学能、动能、重力势能、内能、弹性势能），当发生变化时能量在储存库之间转移。能量守恒定律指出能量既不能凭空产生，也不能凭空消失，只能转移。电能通过移动电荷来转移，可用能量转移 = 功率 × 时间或E = V × I × t 计算。能流图（Sankey图）显示能量转移过程，耗散的能量用向下箭头表示。
8. Waves and the Electromagnetic Spectrum | 波与电磁波谱
Waves transfer energy without transferring matter. Transverse waves (e.g. light, water waves) have oscillations perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Longitudinal waves (e.g. sound) have oscillations parallel to the direction of transfer, consisting of compressions and rarefactions. Key wave properties include wavelength, frequency, amplitude and wave speed, linked by the equation: wave speed = frequency × wavelength (v = f × λ).
波传递能量而不传递物质。横波（如光波、水波）的振动方向与能量传递方向垂直。纵波（如声波）的振动方向与传递方向平行，由疏部和密部组成。波的主要特征包括波长、频率、振幅和波速，它们之间的关系为：波速 = 频率 × 波长（v = f × λ）。
Light travels in straight lines and can be reflected and refracted. The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Refraction occurs when light changes speed as it passes from one medium to another, bending towards the normal if it slows down. White light is a mixture of colours (ROYGBIV) that can be split by a prism; coloured filters absorb all colours except their own, while opaque objects reflect their colour and absorb the rest.
光沿直线传播，可发生反射和折射。反射定律指出入射角等于反射角。当光从一种介质进入另一种介质时速度变化，会发生折射：光速减慢时，光线向法线偏折。白光是由多种色光混合而成（红橙黄绿蓝靛紫），可通过棱镜色散；彩色滤光片只允许与自身颜色相同的光透过，其他颜色被吸收；不透明物体反射自身颜色的光而吸收其余色光。
9. Magnetism and Electromagnetism | 磁与电磁
A magnet has a north and a south pole; like poles repel, unlike poles attract. Magnetic materials such as iron, nickel and cobalt can be attracted by a magnet and can be made into induced magnets. The Earth itself behaves like a giant bar magnet, which is why a freely suspended magnet aligns north–south. Magnetic field lines show the direction of the magnetic force, running from north to south outside the magnet, and the closer the lines, the stronger the field.
磁铁有北极和南极；同名磁极相互排斥，异名磁极相互吸引。铁、镍、钴等磁性材料可被磁铁吸引，并可制成感应磁铁。地球本身就像一个巨大的条形磁铁，因此自由悬挂的磁铁会指向南北方向。磁感线显示磁力的方向，在磁铁外部从北极指向南极，磁感线越密集，磁场越强。
A current flowing through a wire produces a circular magnetic field around it. When the wire is coiled into a solenoid, the magnetic field resembles that of a bar magnet and can be made much stronger by adding an iron core, forming an electromagnet. Electromagnets are temporary – the magnetism disappears when the current is switched off – and are used in relays, electric bells and for lifting scrap iron. The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by raising the current, adding more turns to the coil, or using a larger iron core.
电流通过导线时会在其周围产生环形磁场。当导线绕成螺线管时，产生的磁场与条形磁铁相似，若加入铁芯则可大幅增强磁场，构成电磁铁。电磁铁是暂时的——断电后磁性消失——常用于继电器、电铃和吊运废铁。增大电流、增加线圈匝数或使用更大的铁芯都能增强电磁铁的磁力。
10. Scientific Enquiry and Data Handling | 科学探究与数据处理
In a fair test, only the independent variable is deliberately changed; the dependent variable is measured, and all control variables are kept constant. A clear hypothesis predicts the expected relationship. When planning an investigation, you must take repeat readings to spot anomalies and calculate a mean, which improves reliability. Risk assessments identify hazards and describe precautions to minimise risk.
在公平实验中，只刻意改变自变量；因变量被测量，所有控制变量保持不变。清晰的假设会预测预期的关系。在规划探究时，必须进行重复读数以发现异常值并计算平均值，从而提高数据的可靠性。风险评估要识别危害，并说明将风险降到最低的预防措施。
Results are best displayed in tables with headings that include units. Line graphs are used for continuous data, with the independent variable plotted on the x‑axis. A line of best fit may be straight or curved and allows interpolation and extrapolation. When writing a conclusion, you should state what the data show and relate this back to the scientific model. Evaluating the method identifies sources of error and suggests improvements, such as using more precise instruments or controlling variables more tightly.
实验结果最好用包含单位的表头表格呈现。连续数据使用折线图，自变量绘制在x轴上。最佳拟合线可以是直线或曲线，并能进行内插和外推。撰写结论时，应说明数据所呈现的趋势，并将其与科学模型联系起来。评价实验方法时要找出误差来源并提出改进措施，例如使用更精密的仪器或更严格地控制变量。
