Yes, plasticine can be easily molded into different shapes due to its soft and pliable nature. Its shape is not permanent and can be changed easily by applying pressure or manipulating it with your hands.
A heavy lump of plasticine floats when in the shape of a boat because the boat shape displaces a greater volume of water than the lump alone. This creates a buoyant force that is sufficient to counteract the weight of the plasticine, allowing it to float.
Increase its volume by adding more plasticine. Shape it into a hollow, buoyant structure like a boat or raft. Use a light material, like a small piece of foam, to help it float. Mold the plasticine into a ball shape, which can displace water and float. Create an air pocket within the plasticine to increase its buoyancy.
A liquid is the state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape. It takes the shape of its container.
To make plasticine float, you can shape it into a boat or raft-like structure with a concave base. By redistributing the weight and displacing enough water, the plasticine will float instead of sink.
no
Although it does not have a definite shape, it still has a definite volume.

It's both a liquid with very high viscosity and a solid with very low degree of 'hardness'.
Solids have definite shape and definite volume. Liquids have not definite shape but have definite volume. Gases have neither definite shape not definite volume.
