📄 教材 p.70 · 7Ea Forensic Science (STEM)
HOW DOES A FORENSIC SCIENTIST PREPARE EVIDENCE FOR A COURT?
法医如何为法庭准备证据?
Forensic scientists collect materials from crime scenes. They may collect soil, burnt or broken materials, hairs and body fluids.
法医(forensic scientists)从犯罪现场采集材料——包括土壤、烧焦或破碎物、毛发、体液。
The scientists then examine and test the materials in a lab. Their results can be used as evidence in a court of law.
然后在实验室检查和测试这些材料。结果可作为法庭证据使用。
For example, the evidence could be used to show whether a person or vehicle was in a certain place.
例如证据可用来证明某人或某车是否到过某地。
Using knowledge of chemistry
运用化学知识
Most forensic scientists have a university degree in forensic science, or other science followed by forensic science training.
大多数法医有法医学的大学学位,或先学其他科学再接受法医训练。
A forensic scientist needs a good understanding of the techniques used to separate and identify small amounts of substances (samples).
法医必须熟练掌握分离和鉴定少量物质(样本)的技术。
A common technique is filtration, which separates insoluble substances (the residue) from a liquid (the filtrate).
常用技术是过滤(filtration)——把不溶(insoluble)物质(残渣 residue)从液体(滤液 filtrate)中分开。
When you filter a soil and water mixture, the filtrate contains substances naturally found in soil. These substances can be tested to find out what they are (e.g. by using chromatography).
过滤土+水混合物时,滤液含土壤中本来就有的物质——可以通过色谱法等技术检测它们是什么。
The substances in a filtrate can be used to tell where some soil is from. Or the filtrate may contain substances from someone or something, such as a vehicle.
滤液中的物质能判断土壤的来源地——或者滤液可能含某人或某物(如车辆)的物质。
A | soil samples / B | filtering apparatus
图 A | 土壤样本帮助识别车辆去过的地方 / 图 B | 过滤装置(用来分离土和水)
Q1 Write down what you think forensic science means.
第 1 题 你认为"法医科学"是什么?(答:把科学技术用于犯罪调查——分析犯罪现场的材料,为法庭提供证据)
Q2 Give a reason why a forensic scientist needs to know how to separate the different substances in a sample.
第 2 题 为什么法医需要懂分离样本里不同物质?(答:先分开才能分别识别每种物质——确定其来源或属性)
Q3 Explain why filtration could help analyse where a soil sample originally came from.
第 3 题 解释过滤如何帮助分析土壤来源。(答:过滤后滤液含土壤里溶解的物质——不同地方土壤化学不同 → 用色谱等比对就能匹配地点)
📄 教材 p.71 · 7Ea Clear Method Writing (WS)
Clear STEM communication
清晰的 STEM 表达
Forensic scientists need to explain clearly what they have done. An important part of this is their method, which is a set of written instructions showing how an experiment is carried out.
法医必须清楚说明自己做了什么。一个重要部分是实验方法(method)——一份书面指令说明实验如何进行。
The method may also include a diagram of the apparatus. A clear method lets other scientists repeat an experiment exactly, to check the results. It also allows people in a court to understand easily what a forensic scientist has done.
方法也可以包含装置图。清晰的方法让其他科学家能精确重复实验,也让法庭上的人容易理解法医做了什么。
Method — filtering sand/soil
方法 — 过滤沙/土
A | Fold a circular filter paper in half. B | Fold the filter paper in half again to form a triangular shape. C | Open out one layer of the paper to form a cone. D | Place the filter paper cone into a filter funnel.
A | 把圆形滤纸对折。 B | 再次对折成三角形。 C | 打开一层形成锥形。 D | 把锥形滤纸放进漏斗。
E | Stir the sand mixture with water so that all the sand is suspended. F | Place the filter funnel into the neck of a conical flask. G | Pour the sand and water into the filter paper.
E | 搅拌沙和水的混合物让沙悬浮。 F | 把漏斗放进锥形瓶口。 G | 把沙和水倒入滤纸。
The Method is clear because: it is done in steps (each with a letter); each step describes only one action; each step begins with a command word (also called an imperative verb) — this keeps the sentence simple.
这份方法之所以清晰:分步骤(每步标字母);每步只描述一个动作;每步以命令词(command word,又叫祈使动词)开头——让句子简洁。
C | filtering apparatus / D | heating apparatus — labels
图 C | 过滤装置:滤纸 / 漏斗 / 残渣 / 锥形瓶 / 滤液 / 图 D | 加热装置:烧杯 / 水 / 石棉网 / 三脚架 / 热源(本生灯)
Q4 Why is it important for forensic scientists to describe their methods clearly?
第 4 题 为什么法医清楚描述方法很重要?(答:让其他科学家能重复实验核对结果;让法庭理解证据怎么得到的)
Q5 'Open' in step C is a command word because it tells you to do something. Identify three other command words in this Method. Explain your choices.
第 5 题 步骤 C 的 "Open" 是命令词。说出方法里另外 3 个命令词,并解释。(答:Fold(A、B)、Place(D、F)、Stir(E)、Pour(G)——都是直接告诉你做某个动作的祈使动词)
Q6 Suggest a part of this Method that could be made clearer by using a diagram rather than words.
第 6 题 这份方法的哪一部分用图比文字更清楚?(如:步骤 C 折锥形——用图能让"打开一层成锥"更直观)

第 7 题 写一份方法说明如何搭建图 D 加热装置。用好方法的规则。(分步骤 + 一句一动作 + 命令词开头,如:Place tripod on bench; Put gauze on tripod; Place beaker of water on gauze; …)
📄 教材 p.72 · 7Ea Mixtures (Solution / Suspension / Colloid)
WHAT KINDS OF MIXTURES ARE THERE?
混合物有哪些种类?
Waste water is not a single substance — it is not a pure substance. It is a mixture of water and solid substances.
废水不是单一物质——不是纯净物。它是水和固体物质的混合物(mixture)。
Mixtures are grouped depending on whether the substances in them are solids, liquids or gases, and on how the substances can be separated.
混合物按里面的物质是固/液/气、以及如何分离 来分类。
A solution is a mixture in which the solid dissolves in the liquid. This makes the mixture clear or transparent.
溶液(solution)是固体溶解(dissolves)在液体里的混合物——使混合物清澈或透明(transparent)。
A suspension is a mixture of two substances that separate if the mixture is not stirred. These two substances are often a solid and a liquid. When they are mixed, we say that one substance is suspended in the other. An example is sand mixed with water.
悬浊液(suspension)是两种物质的混合物——不搅就分层。通常是固体和液体——我们说一种物质悬浮在另一种里。例子:沙+水。
In a colloid, one substance is dispersed in another substance and the two substances will not separate easily. Either substance may be a solid, liquid or gas. A colloid is cloudy or opaque, so it is easy to see that it is a mixture.
胶体(colloid)中一种物质分散(dispersed)在另一种里,两者不易分离。任一物质都可以是固液气。胶体浑浊或不透明(opaque)——一眼能看出是混合物。
Milk is a colloid of different milk solids dispersed in water. Many mixtures we use are colloids, such as hair spray, hand cream, Styrofoam™ cups, paint and gel inks.
牛奶是奶固体分散在水中的胶体。我们用的许多混合物都是胶体——发胶、护手霜、Styrofoam 杯、油漆、凝胶墨水。
A | waste water mixture / B | Styrofoam™ — solid colloid
图 A | 废水:含树叶、垃圾、人类排泄物等大固体,经筛网(screen)初步处理 / 图 B | Styrofoam™ 是空气分散在聚苯乙烯中的固体胶体
Fog is a colloid of water droplets dispersed in air.
雾是水滴分散在空气中的胶体。

Q2 a) Suggest what is removed from waste water during the first stage of water treatment. b) Describe how this is removed.
第 2 题 a) 水处理第一阶段去除什么?(答:大固体——树叶、垃圾、粪块) b) 怎么去除?(答:让水通过筛网(screen),像筛子一样)
Q3 Describe one difference between a suspension and a solution.
第 3 题 描述悬浊液和溶液的一个区别。(答:悬浊液不搅就分层且不透明;溶液不分层且透明。或:颗粒大小不同——悬浊液颗粒大、溶液颗粒小到光能穿过)
Q4 What kind of mixture is the waste water that enters a water treatment plant? Explain your reasoning.
第 4 题 进水处理厂的废水是什么类型的混合物?解释。(答:悬浊液——含大量不溶固体,静置会沉淀;也含溶解物质所以也有溶液性质)
📄 教材 p.73 · 7Ea Water Treatment (continued)
After waste water has been screened at a water treatment works, it is passed through fine filters or left to stand in large 'settlement ponds'. This stage removes smaller suspended solids that eventually settle out when the water is still.
废水在水处理厂被筛分(screened)后,经过细滤器或留在大型"沉淀池(settlement ponds)"。这一步去除较小的悬浮固体——水静止时这些固体最终沉淀下来。
The water from the settlement ponds is not clean because very small solids are still dispersed in it. Special substances are added to make these solids stick together to form clumps. This makes it easier to separate them from the water.
沉淀池出水还不干净——还有极小的固体分散在里面。加入特殊物质让这些固体粘在一起结块——更容易从水中分离。
Disease-causing microorganisms are too small to be removed by filters or settlement ponds. Drinking water may be treated with chlorine to kill them.
致病微生物太小,过滤器和沉淀池都除不掉。饮用水可能用氯(chlorine)处理来杀死它们。
C / D | settlement ponds / E | chlorine treatment
图 C | 沉淀池表面流出的水(少了悬浮固体,但仍含分散和溶解的固体)/ 图 D | 加入特殊物质后,固体粘成大块 / 图 E | 微生物太小,需要用氯杀死

第 5 题 解释为什么 Styrofoam 杯是胶体。(答:空气分散在聚苯乙烯固体中,两者不易分离——符合胶体定义;不透明)
Q6 Look at photo D. What kind of mixture is shown in the left-hand beaker? Explain.
第 6 题 图 D 左烧杯是什么混合物?解释。(答:悬浊液 / 胶体——浑浊、有微小固体分散其中)
Q7 Suggest how waste water is cleaned after the special substances have been added to stick the remaining solids together. Explain your answer.
第 7 题 加完特殊物质后废水怎么继续净化?(答:再次过滤或经过沉淀池——结块的固体更容易被滤出或沉淀)
Q8 Draw a flow chart to summarise the stages of water treatment described on these pages.
第 8 题 画流程图总结水处理阶段。(筛分 screening → 过滤 / 沉淀 settlement → 加凝聚剂 → 再过滤 / 沉淀 → 加氯消毒 chlorination → 饮用水)
