14. Conceptual Development through Vertical Alignment Fourth Grade Investigate and draw conclusions about the relationship between the rate of vibrating objects and the pitch of the sound. (DOK 3) Third Grade Differentiate the movement of vibrations in waves (e.g., sound and seismic waves), and cite examples to explain that vibrations move through different materials at different speeds. (DOK 1) Second Grade Identify vibration as the source of sound and categorize different types of media (e.g., wood, plastics, water, air, metal, glass) according to how easily vibrations travel. (DOK 2)
