About this worksheet
This three-page Year 4 cloze on sound starts with a key fact: sounds are made when something moves back and forth very quickly. Pupils fill twelve gaps in a four-paragraph passage, using each word in the bank once. The passage moves from a struck drum and a plucked guitar string to vocal cords, sound waves in the air and the eardrum. Two investigation questions follow, one on humming with fingers on the throat and one on gripping a ringing triangle. The key lists all twelve words in order and answers both questions. It follows the England National Curriculum for sound.
