1. Setting Your Review Goals | 设定复习目标
Before you begin, list the topics you feel confident about and those you find tricky. Be honest with yourself – this self-assessment will help you prioritise areas that need the most attention, ensuring your revision time is used effectively.
开始前,先列出你感到有信心的主题和觉得困难的部分。对自己诚实——这样的自我评估能帮你优先关注最需要加强的领域,确保复习时间得到有效利用。
Write down three specific goals for the holiday, such as ‘I can draw and label the particle diagrams for solids, liquids and gases’ or ‘I can name five common acids and alkalis found at home’. Display these goals where you will see them daily to maintain motivation.
写下三个具体的假期目标,例如“我能画出并标注固体、液体和气体的粒子图”或“我能说出家中常见的五种酸和五种碱”。把这些目标贴在每天看得见的地方,以保持动力。
2. Week 1: Particles and States of Matter | 第一周:粒子与物质状态
Start by reviewing the particle theory – remember that all matter is made of tiny particles that are constantly moving. The arrangement and energy of these particles determine whether a substance is a solid, liquid or gas.
从复习粒子理论开始——记住一切物质都由不断运动的微小粒子组成。粒子的排列方式和能量决定了物质是固体、液体还是气体。
Draw and compare particle diagrams: solids have particles packed closely in a regular pattern, vibrating in fixed positions; liquids have particles close together but able to slide past each other; gases have particles far apart, moving rapidly in all directions.
画出并比较粒子图:固体的粒子紧密排列成规则结构,在固定位置振动;液体的粒子紧密但可相互滑动;气体的粒子相距很远,朝各个方向快速运动。
Practise naming the changes of state – melting, freezing, boiling, condensing and sublimation – and link them to energy transfer. Use key terms like ‘melting point’ and ‘boiling point’ to describe these transitions accurately.
练习说出物态变化的名称——熔化、凝固、沸腾、冷凝和升华——并将它们与能量传递联系起来。使用“熔点”和“沸点”等关键术语准确描述这些转变。
Test yourself by explaining what happens to the particles when ice melts and water boils. Understanding the particle model is the foundation for almost every topic in Year 7 chemistry.
自我检测:解释冰融化以及水沸腾时粒子会发生什么变化。理解粒子模型是七年级化学几乎所有主题的基础。
3. Week 2: Pure Substances, Mixtures and Separation | 第二周:纯净物、混合物与分离
Distinguish between pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance contains only one type of particle and has a sharp melting point, while a mixture contains two or more substances not chemically joined together.
区分纯净物与混合物。纯净物只含一种粒子,具有确定的熔点;混合物则含有两种或多种未通过化学方式结合的物质。
Review common separation techniques: filtration, evaporation, distillation and chromatography. For each method, be able to draw a labelled diagram and explain which physical property is being used to separate the components.
复习常见分离方法:过滤、蒸发、蒸馏和层析法。对于每种方法,要能画出带标注的示意图,并解释利用了什么物理性质来分离组分。
Relate these techniques to real-life examples – filtration to separate sand from water, distillation to obtain pure water, chromatography to separate ink dyes. Make a quick table comparing the equipment and purpose for each technique.
将这些技术与实际例子联系起来——过滤用于分离沙子和水,蒸馏用于获取纯水,层析法用于分离墨水染料。制作一个简表,比较每种技术的仪器和用途。
4. Week 3: Acids and Alkalis | 第三周:酸与碱
Recall that acids have a sour taste and turn blue litmus paper red, while alkalis feel soapy and turn red litmus paper blue. Never taste chemicals in the lab – these are general properties observed in safe demonstrations.
回想:酸有酸味,可使蓝色石蕊试纸变红;碱有滑腻感,可使红色石蕊试纸变蓝。实验室中绝不可品尝化学品——这些一般性质是在安全演示中观察到的。
Learn to use the pH scale (0–14) to describe how acidic or alkaline a solution is: pH less than 7 is acidic, pH 7 is neutral, pH greater than 7 is alkaline. Be able to estimate pH using universal indicator colour changes.
学会使用 pH 标度(0 – 14)来描述溶液的酸碱性:pH < 7 为酸性,pH = 7 为中性,pH > 7 为碱性。要能利用通用指示剂的颜色变化估算 pH 值。
Practise writing word equations for neutralisation reactions: acid + alkali → salt + water. For example, hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide → sodium chloride + water. Connect this to everyday uses such as indigestion tablets neutralising stomach acid.
练习书写中和反应的字方程:酸 + 碱 → 盐 + 水。例如,盐酸 + 氢氧化钠 → 氯化钠 + 水。将此类反应与日常应用相联系,如抗酸药片中和胃酸。
5. Week 4: Elements, Compounds and Simple Reactions | 第四周:元素、化合物与简单反应
Elements are made of only one type of atom and are listed on the periodic table. Compounds form when two or more different elements chemically combine in fixed proportions, and they have properties different from the original elements.
元素仅由一种原子构成,列于元素周期表中。化合物由两种或多种不同元素以固定比例化合而成,其性质与原元素不同。
Distinguish between elements, mixtures and compounds using particle diagrams. In an element, all particles are identical; in a compound, particles are different atoms bonded together; in a mixture, different particles are simply mixed but not joined.
利用粒子图区分元素、混合物与化合物。在元素中所有粒子相同;在化合物中不同原子键合在一起;在混合物中不同粒子只是混合而并未结合。
Introduce simple reactions such as burning magnesium in air. Write the word equation: magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide. Use state symbols in equations where appropriate: (s) for solid, (l) for liquid, (g) for gas, (aq) for aqueous solution.
介绍简单反应,如镁在空气中燃烧。写出字方程:镁 + 氧气 → 氧化镁。在方程中适当使用状态符号:(s) 表示固体,(l) 表示液体,(g) 表示气体,(aq) 表示水溶液。
Memorise the chemical symbols for the first 20 elements. Practice writing formulae for simple compounds like CO₂, H₂O and NaCl by combining symbols and considering valencies.
熟记前 20 号元素的化学符号。通过组合符号并考虑化合价,练习书写 CO₂、H₂O、NaCl 等简单化合物的化学式。
6. Active Revision Techniques | 主动复习技巧
Move beyond simply reading notes. Create flashcards with a question on one side and the answer on the other – for example, ‘What is the particle arrangement in a liquid?’ on one side and a labelled diagram with a brief explanation on the reverse.
不要只是阅读笔记。制作抽认卡,一面写问题,另一面写答案——例如,一面写“液体中粒子如何排列?”,另一面附上带标注的示意图及简短说明。
Use the ‘teach it’ method: explain a topic aloud as if you are teaching a younger student. This reveals how well you really understand the material. If you stumble on a point, note it down and revisit that area.
使用“讲授法”:大声解释某个主题,就像在教一位年纪较小的学生。这能揭示你对知识的真正理解程度。如果在某一点上卡壳,就记录下来并回头强化。
Draw mind maps linking key ideas – for instance, start with ‘states of matter’ in the centre and branch out to solid, liquid, gas, changes of state, particle diagrams and real-life examples. Colour-code these maps to boost memory retention.
绘制思维导图连接核心概念——例如,中心写“物质状态”,分支出固体、液体、气体、物态变化、粒子图与实际例子。用颜色编码来增强记忆。
7. Using Past Questions and Quizzes | 使用真题与测验
Apply your knowledge by attempting CCEA-style questions. Write full-sentence answers and check them against mark schemes to understand what examiners expect. Pay close attention to command words like ‘describe’, ‘explain’ and ‘compare’.
通过试做 CCEA 风格的题目来应用知识。用完整句子作答,并对照评分标准检查,理解考官期望。密切关注“描述”“解释”“比较”等命令词的要求。
Create a quiz for yourself using online platforms or a simple notebook. Include multiple-choice questions, gap-fill exercises and diagram labelling. Testing yourself regularly strengthens long-term memory far more effectively than re-reading.
用在线平台或简单的笔记本为自己制作测验。包括选择题、填空和示意图标注。定期自测比反复阅读更能有效强化长期记忆。
If you get a question wrong, do not just correct it – write a short reflection explaining why the correct answer is right and why your initial answer was flawed. This deepens understanding.
如果答错,不要只改正——写一条简短的反思,说明正确答案为什么对,以及你最初答案哪里有问题。这将深化理解。
8. Key Definitions to Memorise | 必背关键定义
Having precise definitions is crucial in chemistry. The table below lists some of the most important terms for Year 7 CCEA students. Cover the right column and test yourself regularly.

大声朗读每条定义,然后尝试凭记忆用英文和母语复述。这种双语方法能强化术语,确保你能在考试答案中流利地运用这些词汇。
9. Lab Skills and Safety Recap | 实验技能与安全复习
Even though hands-on lab work may not be possible during the holidays, you can still review safety rules and apparatus. Recognize common hazard symbols – flammable, corrosive, toxic, irritant – and explain the precautions linked to each.
尽管假期可能无法动手做实验,你仍可复习安全守则与仪器。识别常见危险标识——易燃、腐蚀性、有毒、刺激性——并能说明每个标识对应的预防措施。
Draw and label essential laboratory equipment: Bunsen burner, tripod and gauze, beaker, conical flask, measuring cylinder, filter funnel and test tube. Know the function of each piece and when to use it safely.
画出并标注基本实验室设备:本生灯、三脚架与铁丝网、烧杯、锥形瓶、量筒、漏斗和试管。知道每件器材的功能以及何时安全使用。
Memorise the steps for lighting a Bunsen burner correctly and explain the difference between the safety flame (yellow) and the heating flame (blue). Though these are practical skills, exam questions often ask you to describe them.
熟记正确点燃本生灯的步骤,并能解释安全焰(黄色)与加热焰(蓝色)的区别。这些虽是实践技能,考试中常要求你进行描述。
10. Managing Your Time and Staying Motivated | 管理时间与保持动力
Create a simple weekly timetable that assigns one or two chemistry sessions of about 30 minutes each day. Shorter, regular sessions are far more effective than cramming. Mix topics across the week to keep your brain engaged.
制定一份简单的周时间表,每天安排一到两次化学复习,每次约 30 分钟。短期而规律的复习远比突击有效。在一周中交替不同主题以保持大脑活跃。
Reward yourself after completing a revision goal – whether it is a favourite snack, a short game or outdoor play. Positive reinforcement makes revision feel less like a chore and helps you stick to the plan.
达成复习目标后给自己一个奖励——可以是喜爱的零食、短暂的游戏或户外活动。正向强化让复习不那么像苦差,有助于坚持计划。
Keep a ‘chemistry diary’ where you briefly record what you studied, any difficulties you faced and how you resolved them. Reviewing this diary at the end of each week boosts confidence and highlights your progress.
写一本“化学日记”,简单记录每天学了什么、遇到什么困难以及如何解决。每周末翻阅日记,能提升自信,突显你的进步。
