About this worksheet
A Year 4 science knowledge check on pitch and volume, over four pages with an answer key. Pupils sort four descriptions into pitch or volume. A drum with rice on its skin then links stronger vibrations with louder sounds. Four sets of pan pipes labelled A to D, tallest to shortest, lead into questions on the highest and lowest notes, followed by patterns for guitar strings, elastic bands and xylophone bars. The last section applies both ideas to a ruler twanged on a desk and a guitar string plucked harder. It meets both England National Curriculum objectives for this part of sound.
