Transparent objects allow light to pass through them clearly so that you can see things on the other side. Examples include glass, clear plastic, and water.

Now, let’s look at each object in the grid and determine which ones are transparent:

Grid Analysis (Circle the transparent objects):

| Object | Is it Transparent? | Reason |
|--------|---------------------|--------|
| Window | ✔ Yes | Made of glass; allows light to pass through so we can see outside. |
| Notebook | ✘ No | Made of paper; blocks light. |
| Magnifying glass | ✔ Yes | Made of clear glass or plastic; lets light pass through to magnify objects. |
| Eyeglasses | ✔ Yes | Lenses are made of transparent material to help correct vision. |
| Hourglass | ✔ Yes | The glass container is transparent so you can see the sand moving inside. |
| Umbrella | ✘ No | Made of fabric or plastic; blocks light (used to block sunlight). |
| Glass bowl | ✔ Yes | Made of clear glass; light passes through it. |
| Bottle | ✔ Yes | Made of clear glass or plastic; allows visibility of contents. |
