每个单元从简短的回忆性问题开始，然后进入应用、分析和评价任务。数字访问权限提供在线版本、互动活动以及答案，便于自学。
- Biology units: plant nutrition, reproduction, inheritance and health. — 生物单元：植物营养、生殖、遗传和健康。
- Chemistry units: periodic table, reactivity and materials. — 化学单元：周期表、反应性和材料。
- Physics units: forces, electricity and energy. — 物理单元：力、电和能量。
The workbook also includes self-assessment checklists and end-of-unit practice tests, making it suitable for both classroom homework and independent revision.
练习册还包含自我评估清单和单元末测试，既适合课堂作业，也适合独立复习。
2. Biology: Plant Nutrition and Photosynthesis | 生物：植物营养与光合作用
In Stage 9, learners explore photosynthesis as the process by which plants make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water using light energy. This is one of the most heavily examined topics in the Cambridge Lower Secondary Science curriculum.
在第9阶段，学习者将光合作用理解为植物利用光能，由二氧化碳和水制造葡萄糖和氧气的过程。这是剑桥初中科学课程中考查频率最高的主题之一。
The word equation should be memorised, but learners are also introduced to the balanced symbol equation.
需要记住文字方程式，但学习者也会接触到配平的符号方程式。
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Leaf structure is linked to function: palisade mesophyll cells contain many chloroplasts for light absorption, while stomata allow gas exchange and transpiration. Spongy mesophyll has air spaces for diffusion of gases.
叶片结构与功能相关联：栅栏叶肉细胞含有许多叶绿体以吸收光，而气孔允许气体交换和蒸腾作用。海绵叶肉具有气体扩散所需的空气间隙。
Common questions ask students to interpret experiments using iodine to test for starch or using a variegated leaf to show chlorophyll is needed. Learners should also explain how limiting factors such as light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature affect the rate of photosynthesis.
常见问题要求学生解释使用碘液检测淀粉的实验，或使用斑叶证明叶绿素是必需的。学习者还应解释光照强度、二氧化碳浓度和温度等限制因素如何影响光合作用速率。
Transport in plants is also covered: xylem carries water and mineral ions upward, while phloem transports glucose and amino acids to growing and storage tissues.
植物运输也包含在内：木质部向上运输水和矿物质离子，而韧皮部将葡萄糖和氨基酸运输到生长和储存组织。
3. Biology: Reproduction and Inheritance | 生物：生殖与遗传
Key topics include sexual reproduction in plants and humans, the structure of DNA, genes and chromosomes, and patterns of inheritance such as dominant and recessive alleles.
关键主题包括植物和人类的有性生殖、DNA 结构、基因和染色体，以及显性和隐性等位基因等遗传模式。
Learners must be able to use Punnett squares to predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes. For example, when a heterozygous brown-eyed parent (Bb) is crossed with a blue-eyed parent (bb), the expected ratio is 1 Bb : 1 bb.
学习者必须能够使用庞纳特方格预测后代基因型和表现型的概率。例如，当杂合棕色眼睛亲本（Bb）与蓝色眼睛亲本（bb）杂交时，预期比例为 1 Bb : 1 bb。
Questions also cover pollination, fertilisation and seed dispersal, linking reproduction to plant life cycles. Learners identify the functions of flower parts such as anther, stigma, ovary and ovule.
问题也涵盖传粉、受精和种子传播，将生殖与植物生命周期联系起来。学习者识别花药、柱头、子房和胚珠等花部位的功能。
Human reproduction includes the roles of gametes, the menstrual cycle and the placenta. Inheritance questions may involve co-dominance or sex-linked traits as extension work, but the workbook focuses mainly on monohybrid crosses.
人类生殖包括配子的作用、月经周期和胎盘。遗传题可能涉及共显性或伴性遗传作为拓展，但练习册主要聚焦单基因杂交。
Learners should avoid saying ‘stronger allele’ when they mean ‘dominant allele’. Dominant does not mean more common; it only means the phenotype appears when at least one copy is present.
学习者应避免把 ‘dominant allele’ 说成 ‘stronger allele’。显性并不意味着更常见；它只表示当至少存在一个拷贝时该表现型就会出现。
4. Chemistry: The Periodic Table and Chemical Patterns | 化学：周期表与化学规律
Stage 9 introduces the structure of the periodic table, including groups and periods. Learners identify alkali metals, halogens and noble gases and compare their physical and chemical properties.
第9阶段介绍周期表的结构，包括族和周期。学习者识别碱金属、卤素和稀有气体，并比较它们的物理和化学性质。
Reactivity trends are important: alkali metals become more reactive down the group, while halogens become less reactive down the group. Noble gases are unreactive because they have a full outer shell of electrons.
反应性趋势很重要：碱金属沿族向下反应性增强，而卤素沿族向下反应性减弱。稀有气体不活泼是因为它们具有满电子外层。
Electronic configuration is used to explain why noble gases are unreactive and why elements in the same group have similar reactions. For example, lithium has the configuration 2,1 and sodium has 2,8,1; both have one outer electron.
电子排布用于解释为什么稀有气体不活泼，以及为什么同一族元素具有相似的反应。例如，锂的排布为 2,1，钠为 2,8,1；两者都有一个外层电子。
Questions may ask learners to predict properties of unfamiliar elements using periodic table position, for example predicting that rubidium is softer and more reactive than potassium, or that astatine is less reactive than iodine.
题目可能要求学习者利用周期表位置预测陌生元素的性质，例如预测铷比钾更软且更活泼，或者砹比碘反应性更弱。
A simple summary table can help compare groups:
一个简单的总结表有助于比较各族：
| Group | Trend down group | Example |
| 1 (Alkali metals) | More reactive | K is more reactive than Na |
| 7 (Halogens) | Less reactive | Cl is more reactive than Br |
| 0 (Noble gases) | Unreactive | Full outer shell |
5. Chemistry: Reactivity and Materials | 化学：反应性与材料
Learners explore the reactivity series of metals, displacement reactions and the extraction of metals from ores. They use observations from reactions with water, acid and oxygen to order metals from most to least reactive
