Grade 4 students explore musical instruments and pitch in this worksheet. They examine how shorter guitar strings, smaller drums, and tighter strings make higher pitches, while longer pipes and bigger drums make lower pitches. Fill-in-the-blanks and a matching activity build Grade 4 vocabulary including frequency, woodwind, transmission, and volume. Learners connect everyday music to science by linking the size, shape, and tension of vibrating objects to the pitch of the sound waves they produce.

Waves: Light and Sound
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In Grade 4 music science, a shorter guitar string makes a higher pitch than a longer one.
2. Grade 4: a big drum with a wide head usually makes a lower pitched sound.
3. How fast a string vibrates each second is called its frequency in Grade 4 science.
4. A flute is a woodwind instrument that makes sound when air vibrates inside its tube in Grade 4.
5. Grade 4: tightening a guitar string makes the pitch go up.
6. The loudness of a sound wave is called its volume in Grade 4 science.
7. When sound moves from the instrument to your ear, scientists call it transmission in Grade 4 class.
8. A long pipe organ tube usually plays a lower note than a short tube in Grade 4 music.
9. Grade 4 students learn that pitch depends on the speed of the vibration.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
