1. Forces and Friction | 力与摩擦
Forces are pushes or pulls measured in newtons (N). When forces on an object are balanced, the object stays at rest or moves at constant speed. Friction is a force that opposes motion between surfaces and always acts in the opposite direction to the movement or attempted movement. A common mistake is thinking friction always acts backwards relative to the ground. In fact, friction can drive motion – when you walk or a car accelerates, the friction from the ground pushes you forwards.
力是推或拉，单位是牛顿 (N)。当物体受到的力平衡时，它会保持静止或匀速直线运动。摩擦力是接触面之间阻碍运动的力，方向总与相对运动或运动趋势的方向相反。常见错误是以为摩擦力总是相对于地面向后。实际上摩擦力可以驱动运动——当你走路或汽车加速时，来自地面的摩擦力恰恰把你向前推。
Typical mistake: ‘If I stop pushing a box, friction disappears.’
Correction: Friction is still present as long as the surfaces are in contact; it slows the box down but does not vanish.
典型错误：“如果我不再推箱子，摩擦力就消失了。”
纠正：只要接触面还在，摩擦力就存在；它让箱子减速，但不会凭空消失。
2. Mass and Weight | 质量与重量
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is measured in kilograms (kg). It does not change with location. Weight is the force of gravity pulling on the mass, measured in newtons (N). Weight depends on the gravitational field strength g. On Earth g ≈ 10 N/kg, so a 1 kg mass weighs 10 N.
质量是物体所含物质的多少，单位是千克 (kg)，不随位置改变。重量是地球（或其他星球）对物体的引力，单位是牛顿 (N)。重量取决于引力场强度 g。在地球表面 g ≈ 10 N/kg，所以质量为 1 kg 的物体重 10 N。
weight (N) = mass (kg) × gravitational field strength (N/kg)
W = m × g
A frequent error is using ‘weight’ and ‘mass’ as if they are the same. In everyday language we say ‘I weigh 50 kg’, but in physics that is your mass. Examiners will mark you down if you confuse kg with N.
常见错误是把“重量”和“质量”当成一个概念。生活中我们说“我重50公斤”，但在物理上那指的是质量。如果混淆 kg 和 N，考官会扣分。
Exam tip: If a question asks for weight, the answer must be in newtons. If the question provides mass in kg and asks for weight on Earth, multiply by 10.
应试建议：如果题目问重量，答案必须有单位牛顿。若题目给出质量（kg）并要求计算地球上的重量，乘以 10 即可。
3. Gravity and Weight on Different Planets | 不同星球上的重力与重量
Gravity is a force that attracts all objects with mass. The strength of gravity differs on other planets and moons. The Moon’s gravitational field strength is about 1.6 N/kg, so a 10 kg object weighs only 16 N on the Moon. Mass stays the same wherever you are. Students often wrongly claim that an astronaut’s mass decreases on the Moon because they ‘float’. The floating sensation comes from the weaker gravitational pull, not from a loss of mass.
重力是吸引所有有质量物体的力。不同行星和卫星上的重力强度不同。月球的引力场强度大约为 1.6 N/kg，所以一个 10 kg 的物体在月球上只重 16 N。无论在哪里，质量都保持不变。学生常误以为宇航员在月球上质量变小了，因为他们“飘起来”。实际上漂浮感来自引力变小，而不是质量减少。
Common misconception: ‘On the Moon my weight is zero.’
Reality: Weight is smaller but never zero; true weightlessness occurs only when g = 0, which is far from any large mass.
常见误区：“在月球上我的重量为零。”
实际情况：重量减小但绝不为零；真正的失重只会发生在 g = 0 的地方，远离任何大质量天体。
4. Calculating Speed | 速度计算
Speed is the distance travelled per unit time. The average speed of an object can be found using the equation:
速度是单位时间内通过的距离。物体的平均速度可用公式计算：
average speed = total distance ÷ total time
s = d / t
The units commonly used are metres per second (m/s) or kilometres per hour (km/h). A typical Year 7 exam question might ask: ‘A cyclist travels 300 m in 60 s. What is her speed?’ Correct answer: 5 m/s. A frequent mistake is to mix units – for example, dividing metres by minutes without converting to seconds. Another error is thinking that average speed means adding the speeds at different stages and dividing by the number of stages; that only works if each stage lasts the same amount of time.
常用单位是米每秒 (m/s) 或千米每小时 (km/h)。Year 7 考试中常见题型：“一位自行车手在 60 s 内行驶 300 m，她的速度是多少？”正确答案：5 m/s。常见错误是混淆单位——比如用米除以分钟却不换算成秒。另一个错误是以为平均速度就是把各段速度相加再除以段数；这种方法仅在各段时间相等时才成立。
Quick check: Always write the unit after the number. If distance is in km and time in h, speed is in km/h; if distance is in m and time in s, speed is in m/s.
检查小贴士：数字后务必带上单位。如果距离用 km，时间用 h，则速度单位是 km/h；如果用 m 和 s，则速度单位是 m/s。
5. Energy Stores and Transfers | 能量的储存与转移
Energy is stored in different ways: kinetic (movement), thermal (heat), chemical (fuel, food), gravitational potential (height), elastic potential (stretched spring), nuclear, electrostatic and magnetic. Energy can be transferred from one store to another through four main pathways: mechanical work (a force moving an object), electrical work (charges moving), heating (temperature difference) and radiation (light and sound).
能量以不同方式储存：动能（运动）、热能、化学能（燃料、食物）、重力势能（高度）、弹性势能（拉伸的弹簧）、核能、静电势能和磁能。能量可以通过四种主要途径从一个储存转移到另一个：机械做功（力使物体移动）、电功（电荷移动）、加热（温差）和辐射（光和声）。
A very common mistake is saying ‘energy is used up’ or ‘energy disappears’. Energy is always conserved; it is transferred to less useful thermal stores, often making the surroundings warmer. Sankey diagrams show how much of the input energy is useful and how much is wasted.
一个非常普遍的错误是说“能量用完了”或“能量消失了”。能量总是守恒的；它只是转移到了不太有用的热能储存，通常使环境变暖。桑基图能展示输入能量中有多少是有用的，多少被浪费了。
Mistake to avoid: ‘The light bulb uses up electricity.’
Correct thinking: The bulb transfers electrical energy into light and heat; the total energy before and after is the same.
避免的错误：“灯泡用掉了电。”
正确思维：灯泡把电能转化为光能和热能；转化前后总能量相等。
6. Renewable and Non-renewable Energy | 可再生能源与不可再生能源
Non-renewable resources, such as coal, oil and natural gas, are fossil fuels formed over millions of years and will eventually run out. Burning them releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants. Renewable resources – wind, solar, tidal, hydroelectric, wave and biomass – can be replenished naturally in a short time. In CCEA exams, students often misclassify tidal and wave energy: tidal power harnesses the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the Moon’s gravity; wave power captures the motion of surface water driven by wind.
不可再生资源，如煤、石油和天然气，是经过数百万年形成的化石燃料，终将耗尽。燃烧它们会释放二氧化碳和其他污染物。可再生能源——风能、太阳能、潮汐能、水力、波浪能和生物质能——可在较短时间内自然补充。在 CCEA 考试中，学生常常混淆潮汐能和波浪能：潮汐能利用月球引力引起的海面升降；波浪能则捕获由风驱动的水面运动。
Another error is believing that renewable sources always have zero environmental impact. Manufacturing turbines or solar panels uses energy and materials, and building dams can disrupt habitats. The key advantage is that the energy source itself does not run out during operation.
另一个错误是认为可再生能源完全对环境无害。制造风力涡轮和太阳能板需要消耗能源和材料，修建水坝也可能破坏栖息地。其主要优势在于运行时能量来源本身不会枯竭。
7. Electric Circuits and Current | 电路与电流
An electric circuit must be complete (closed) for current to flow. Current is the flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A). In a series circuit, the current is the same at all points because there is only one path. A common Year 7 misconception is that current gets ‘used up’ by components like bulbs, so less current returns to the battery. In reality, the current value is identical before and after the bulb; the bulb transforms electrical energy into light and heat, but the charge carriers keep moving.
电路必须闭合才能有电流。电流是电荷的流动，单位是安培 (A)。在串联电路中，所有位置的电流都相等，因为只有一条路径。Year 7 学生普遍存在一个误区，认为电流被灯泡等元件“用掉”了，回到电池的电流变小。实际上灯泡前后的电流大小完全相同；灯泡将电能转化为光能和热能，但电荷载流子继续前进。
Use a rope-loop model: pulling the rope makes all parts move at the same rate. Similarly, the current is the same everywhere in a series loop.
可以借助绳圈模型：拉动绳圈时，所有部分都以相同速率移动。同样地，串联回路中各处电流都相同。
Exam trap: ‘If another bulb is added in series, the current increases.’
Correct statement: Adding bulbs in series increases resistance, so the current decreases.
考试陷阱：“如果串联一个灯泡，电流会增大。”
正确表述：串联更多灯泡会增加电阻，导致电流减小。
8. Conductors and Insulators | 导体与绝缘体
Materials that allow electricity to flow easily are called electrical conductors; those that do not are insulators. Metals are good conductors because they have free electrons, while graphite (a form of carbon) is a notable non-metal conductor. Common exam questions ask students to test whether a material conducts by inserting it into a simple circuit with a bulb or ammeter. A widespread mistake is believing that pure water conducts electricity well. Pure water is actually a very poor conductor; it is dissolved salts and impurities in tap water or seawater that make them conduct.
能轻易让电流通过的材料叫导体，反之叫绝缘体。金属是良好的导体，因为它们有自由电子；而石墨（碳的一种形态）是一种重要的非金属导体。常见考题是让学生将一个材料接入含灯泡或电流表的简单电路，以测试其导电性。一个广泛存在的错误是以为纯水容易导电。事实上纯水导电性极差；让自来水或海水导电的是溶解其中的盐分和杂质。
The human body conducts electricity because it contains water and salts, so electricity can pass through us. This is why we must be careful around electrical appliances.
人体可以导电，因为体内含有水分和盐分，所以电流能够通过。这正是我们在用电器旁要小心的原因。
9. Magnets and Magnetic Fields | 磁铁与磁场
Magnets have a north pole and a south pole. Like poles repel, unlike poles attract. The magnetic field is the region around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt. Field lines point from north to south outside the magnet. Earth itself acts like a giant magnet, which is why a freely suspended magnet aligns itself roughly north-south. A typical error: thinking that the Earth’s geographic north pole is a magnetic north pole. In fact, the Earth’s magnetic south pole is near the geographic north, which is why a compass north pole points towards geographic north.
磁铁有北极和南极。同名磁极相互排斥，异名磁极相互吸引。磁场是磁体周围能感受到磁力的区域。磁铁外部，磁感线从北极指向南极。地球本身就像一个巨大的磁铁，所以自由悬挂的磁铁会大致指向南北方向。常见错误：以为地理北极就是磁北极。实际上，地球的磁南极位于地理北极附近，这正是指南针的北极指向地理北方的原因。
Magnetic materials like iron, nickel and cobalt are attracted to magnets but do not have to be magnets themselves. Only magnets have both north and south poles.
像铁、镍、钴这样的磁性材料能被磁铁吸引，但它们本身不一定是磁铁。只有磁体才同时拥有南极和北极。
10. The Particle Model and States of Matter | 粒子模型与物质状态
The particle model describes solids, liquids and gases in terms of tiny particles. In solids, particles are packed closely in a fixed arrangement and can only vibrate. In liquids, they are close but can slide past each other. In gases, particles are far apart and move quickly in all directions. State changes such as melting, boiling and condensing occur when energy is added or removed. A critical mistake is confusing ‘particles expand’ with ‘spaces between particles increase’. When a substance is heated, the particles themselves do not grow larger; instead, they vibrate more and move further apart, so the material expands.
粒子模型用微小粒子描述固体、液体和气体。固体中，粒子紧密排列在固定位置，只能振动；液体中，粒子彼此靠近但可以相互滑动；气体中，粒子距离很远，向各个方向快速运动。熔化、沸腾和冷凝等状态变化发生在能量增加或减少时。一个关键错误是混淆“粒子膨胀”和“粒子间距增大”。当物质受热时，粒子本身不会变大；它们只是振动得更剧烈，彼此远离，所以材料膨胀。
During melting, the temperature stays constant until all the solid has become liquid. Many pupils are surprised by this plateau on a heating graph, expecting the temperature to rise continuously.
在熔化过程中，温度保持不变，直到所有固体都变成液体。许多学生对加热曲线上的平台感到意外，以为温度会一直上升。
| State | Particle arrangement | Movement |
|---|---|---|
| Solid | Very close, regular pattern | Vibrate in place |
| Liquid | Close, random arrangement | Slide past each other |
| Gas | Far apart, random | Move fast in all directions |
11. Sound and Hearing | 声音与听觉
Sound is produced by vibrations and travels as longitudinal waves. It needs a medium (solid, liquid or gas) to travel; sound cannot travel through a vacuum. The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency of the vibration, and the loudness depends on the amplitude. A frequent confusion is equating high pitch with loud volume. A high-pitched whistle can be quiet, while a low drum beat can be very loud. In CCEA tests, students may be asked to draw oscilloscope traces: a taller wave represents a louder sound, and more waves packed into the same time means a higher pitch.
声音由振动产生，以纵波形式传播。它需要介质（固体、液体或气体）传播，不能在真空中传播。音调高低取决于振动频率，响度取决于振幅。常见的混淆是把高音调等同于大音量。尖细的哨声可以很轻，低沉的鼓声可以非常响。在 CCEA 考试中，可能要求学生画出示波器波形：波形越高表示声音越响，同样时间内波形越密集表示音调越高。
Classic error: ‘If the sound is loud, the frequency must be high.’ Correct this by testing with a microphone and oscilloscope: you can see independent changes in amplitude and frequency.
经典错误：“声音大了，频率就一定高。”通过话筒和示波器实验可以纠正：振幅和频率是独立变化的。
12. Light and Reflection | 光的反射
Light travels in straight lines. When it hits a smooth surface, it reflects according to the law of reflection: the angle of incidence (i) equals the angle of reflection (r), both measured from the normal (an imaginary line perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence). Many students mess up by measuring angles from the mirror surface instead of the normal. Always draw and label the normal before measuring angles.
光线沿直线传播。当它遇到光滑表面时，会按照反射定律反射：入射角 (i) 等于反射角 (r)，两者都从法线（垂直于入射点的假想线）量起。许多学生犯的错误是从镜面量角，而不是从法线量。测量角度前一定要先画出并标出法线。
Rough surfaces cause diffuse reflection, scattering light in many directions. A common myth is that diffuse reflection does not obey the law of reflection. In reality, each individual ray still obeys the law, but because the surface is uneven, the normals point in different directions, so the reflected rays are scattered.
粗糙表面会发生漫反射，把光线散射向各个方向。一个流传很广的错误说法是漫反射不遵守反射定律。实际上，每一条光线仍然遵从反射定律，只是因为表面不平，各处的法线指向不同方向，导致反射光线散开。
Plane mirror images are virtual, upright, laterally inverted and the same size as the object. They appear to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front.
平面镜成像是虚像、正立、左右颠倒且与物体等大。像到镜面的距离等于物体到镜面的距离。
