LEARNING TASK 1: Read the paragraph below. Tell whether each highlighted noun is
a mass, count, possessive, or collective noun.

Jennie is a fourth grader at Simeon R. Bendaña Sr. Memorial Elementary School.

In Science class, Jennie’s teacher asked them to group themselves into five for an
experiment about properties of matter. They have learned that the ability of materials to
absorb water is due to the presence of loose fibers with lots of pores or holes between the
particles that make the materials. Examples of materials that absorb water are tissue
paper, cottons, and cloth; they are called porous materials. On the other hand, materials
that do not absorb water or liquid are called non-porous materials, examples of which are
plastic or metal spoons, porcelains, cups, and glasses.
