A pencil floats, a human no float, a feather floats, paper floats, ice floats, keys do not float, rocks do not float, coins do not, flip flops float. Second answer: I think you meant to ask, 'What floats and then some time later starts to sink. If that is what you meant, the answer is: There are absorbent substances which float when dry, then after absorbing water while they are floating, they increase in density and then sink.

Objects that are less dense than the liquid they are in will float, while objects that are more dense will sink. Materials such as wood, cork, and plastic typically float, while materials such as metal and stone usually sink.
