Sound: how speakers work

An explanation text for year 4 and P5, linking to the topic sound and Vibrations and waves, about speakers. You hear them pumping on the stereo, bleeping and ringing in mobile phones and blasting out of cars – speakers are everywhere! They turn electrical signals into sounds, but how do they do it?

This downloadable reading pack includes:

  • An A4 reading spread for you to print.
  • Reading comprehension question and answer sheets, differentiated using our magnifying glasses key (on the bottom right). One magnifying glass indicates easier and two means harder.
