Classify wave patterns — free printable Grade 4 Science worksheet

This Grade 4 Physical Science worksheet develops the skill of classifying wave patterns — distinguishing between transverse and longitudinal waves, and identifying features like wavelength, amplitude, and frequency within the Waves and Information strand. Teachers can use it as a concept-application task after a waves lesson, or as a structured review before an assessment that requires students to analyze and compare wave behavior. Classifying wave patterns prepares students for understanding sound, light, and information transfer.

Learning objectives

  • Classify wave patterns as transverse or longitudinal based on their characteristics
  • Identify and label features of waves such as wavelength, amplitude, and frequency
  • Explain how different wave patterns carry energy and information
