VII. Enumeration.
1. Give two materials that are elastic. Rubber band, tire
2. List down the three types of materials. See-through, not see-through, cloudy
3. List down the two types of magnets. Man-made/Artificial magnets and Natural Magnets
4. List down the four natural occurring magnets. Lodestone, basalt, pyrrhotite, columbite

Discussion.
1. Why some things float?
Some things float because the displaced amount of water is greater than the weight of an object.

2. Why some things sink?

Some things sink because the displaced amount of water is lesser than the weight of an object.

3. Why some things are made see-through? Answer by giving an example.

Some things are made see through because it is very helpful and useful especially to those who have
eye problems. Let us say in a car for example, its windscreens are made see-through for the driver to
see what is in front of him and what is behind him and that helps him not to get into accidents.
