The distribution of the sample variance $S^2$ is given by
$(n-1)S^2/\sigma^2 \sim \chi^2(n-1)$. I'm guessing that you are
asked to provide an illustration of this relationship
using R. Consider the following simulation.
m = 1000; n = 5; x = rnorm(m*n)
DTA = matrix(x, nrow=m) # each row a sample of size n
v = apply(DTA, 1, var) # sample variances of m rows
hist((n-1)*v, prob=T, col="wheat", ylim=c(0,.2))
curve(dchisq(x, n-1), lwd=2, col="blue", add=T)
lines(density((n-1)*v), lwd=2, col="darkgreen")
mean(v)
## 1.003081
var(v)
## 0.4881987

This may not be exactly what you are being asked for, but it may
point you in the right direction. I have overlaid a density
curve on the histogram. I'm not sure what kind of histogram
could be superimposed.
Probably, an important message here is that
the relevant chi-squared distribution has df = n-1, not df = n.
You can try superimposing the density of $Chisq(5)$ and you'll
see it doesn't fit the histogram at all well.
$Addendum:$ I don't know if you know about density
estimators, but for good measure, I also superimposed a
density estimator (smoothed histogram) in green. For this
particular simulation run the theoretical curve and the
density estimator agree pretty well, but if you run the program
several times you will get some cases in which the agreement
isn't so good. (If you use m = 10,000, results will be more
stable.)
Please let me know if you can make sense of this to finish your project. What is the variance of $Chisq(4)$? If you don't know,
look at the Wikipedia article on 'Chi-squared distribution'.
Addendum per Comment from @Quality: Because $(n-1)S^2/\sigma^2 \sim Chisq(4),$ we have $V[4S^2] = 2(4)$ or $V(S^2) = 8/16 = 1/2$. Also, v
in the program
represents $S^2,$ so it is not surprising that var(v)
returns
$0.488 \approx 0.5$ within simulation error. (Because variances
are on a squared-unit scale, the margin of simulation error is numerically larger for variances than for means: Several additional
runs of the program gave values between 0.47 and 0.59. Use m=10^6
for a slower run with better accuracy.)
