How do you explain why things sink or float to a 5 year old?
Things sink if they are heavy and push the water down, and float if they are light and let the water hold them up like a balloon.
Will string float or sink in water?
A string will typically sink in water due to its higher density compared to water. However, if the string is less dense than water (such as a helium-filled balloon attached to it), it may float.
Why does an inflated ballon not sink in water?
An inflated balloon floats in water because the air inside the balloon is less dense than the water. The buoyant force acting on the balloon from the water is greater than the force of gravity acting on the balloon, causing it to float.
Will a fork sink or float?
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.
Will a marker float or sink in water?

Why does a balloon filled with water neither sink or float and it just drifts and literally becomes one with the water?
The density of water molecules is the same inside the balloon as on the outside.
Why does an inflated ballon not sink in water?
An inflated balloon floats in water because the air inside the balloon is less dense than the water. The buoyant force acting on the balloon from the water is greater than the force of gravity acting on the balloon, causing it to float.
Do clothes float or sink?
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
Will arsenic float or sink in pure water?
Arsenic is denser than water, so it will sink in pure water.
Will a fork sink or float?
A fork will sink in water, as it is denser than water. The density of an object determines whether it will sink or float in water.
Can asphalt float on water?
Asphalt is denser than water and will sink in water rather than float.
Does milk sink or float in water?
float
Do oil sink or float in water?
Float.
Will a marker float or sink in water?
I have a marker which float in water.
Do ceramic float or sink?
a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.
