About this reader
This engaging 250-word reading passage introduces fourth-grade students to the concept of wave amplitude as outlined in NGSS standard 4-PS4-1. Students learn that amplitude is the height of a wave measured from the middle to the crest, and that larger amplitude indicates more energy. The passage uses relatable examples such as ocean waves and sound to help students understand how wave size connects to energy. Audio-integrated features support diverse learners, while the simplified differentiated version ensures accessibility for students reading below grade level. Spanish translations of both versions are included to support bilingual learners. The passage is accompanied by comprehension activities including multiple-choice questions testing recall and application, writing prompts requiring students to explain and connect concepts, and graphic organizers that help visualize the relationship between amplitude and energy. This resource aligns with NGSS Disciplinary Core Idea PS4.A: Wave Properties, providing foundational knowledge that prepares students for hands-on investigations and deeper exploration of wave phenomena. Perfect for introducing wave concepts in elementary physical science units.
