This Year 4 How Can We Change an Instrument's Pitch? Worksheet helps pupils explore how different musical instruments can change pitch through investigation and discussion. Pupils experiment with a range of instruments to discover how sounds can be made higher or lower, thinking carefully about what changes the vibrations and affects the pitch produced.

Pupils can complete this activity independently, in pairs, or as part of a small group, with plenty of opportunities to share ideas, test predictions and explain their scientific understanding. This task encourages the use of clear scientific vocabulary and helps deepen understanding of how pitch can be altered in different types of instruments.

This activity works brilliantly alongside our Year 4 What is Pitch? lesson.
