A child is playing with a toy fishing game in a small pool. The toy fish stick to the fishing pole when they get close. Which properties best explain how this toy works?

• The toy fish float because they are buoyant, and they stick to the pole because of magnetism.

• The toy fish float because they are heavy, and they stick to the pole because water pulls them up.

• The toy fish sink because they are made of metal, and they stick to the pole because of glue.

• The toy fish float because they are filled with air, and they stick to the pole because of electricity.
