Why doesn't a stone float?
A stone does not float because it is denser than water, meaning it weighs more than the water it displaces. The buoyant force acting on an object in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. Since the stone is heavier than the water it displaces, it sinks instead of floating.
Can you make a stone float on water?
There are two ways:Hollow out the stone to the form of a boat so that has more displacement then weight.Use pumice, a light weight volcanic stone that has lots of air bubbles in its structure.

The molecules in a stone are packed together more tightly than the molecules in water-- the stone is more dense than the water is, so the stone sinks.
