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.

Do oil sink or float in water?

Will a marker float or sink 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.
