Depends on what they're dropped into.
Water - no.
But drop them into something that's denser than aluminium and they will float.
Blocks made of materials like wood or plastic would typically float in water, while blocks made of materials like metal or concrete would sink. The density and composition of the block determine whether it will sink or float in water.

Yes, wooden blocks typically float in water because wood is less dense than water. This means that the buoyant force acting on the wooden block is greater than its weight, causing it to float.

Simply dig out the area underneath the house. Unless the base of the house is made of gravel or sand, the house should float when you remove the blocks under it.
The cool solid blocks that float on the asthenosphere are known as tectonic plates. These plates are made up of the Earth's crust and upper part of the mantle, and they float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere due to their lower density. The movement and interactions of these plates lead to processes such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
Because ice is lighter than water
Most wood (blocks) float because most wood is less dense than water. However, there are some hardwoods that are denser than water, a block made from one of these would sink.
Icebergs are blocks of fresh-water ice that break off from glaciers and float out to sea. They are made from snow that has fallen hundreds or even thousands of years.

Some objects that float in salt water include plastic bottles, rubber balls, and wooden blocks. This is because these objects are less dense than salt water, causing them to displace enough water to remain buoyant on the surface.
If the cup plus the wood weighs less than all the water that the cup could hold, then the whole thing will float in the water. If the cup plus the wood weighs more than all the water that the cup could hold, then the whole thing will sink in the water. But, after the cup fills with water, the two blocks of wood will float on the surface, while the cup goes to the bottom.
