Why a big steel ship can float while a small piece of steel readily sinks to the bottom of the sea?

Why does a solid piece of clay sink while a clay boat can be made to float?
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.
Why is an electro magnet better than a normal magnet?
An electromagnet is made by wrapping coiled wire around a piece of metal. When a current is applied, it creates a magetic field. The main advantage is that an electromagnet can be turned off by breaking the circuit. That's how those big magnet cranes at junkyards can let go of the metal. You can easily make a fun electromagnet project that kids love. Just coil a wire around a bolt, and hook up the ends to both sides of a battery. A 6 volt flashlight battery works great. More coils means a stronger magnet.
How do you build a switch with aluminum foil?
1. Cut a small hole in a piece of cardboard. 2. Glue foil to both sides, leaving a strip of cardboard bare on opposite sides. 3. Attach a wire to one side using a paper clip. (make sure the clip doesn't connect with both sides, use the bare area.) And the same on the other side 4. When you press the area where the hole is, the foil should touch through and make a connection. Your own touch, membrane switch!. Of course there are many other ways. DO NOT USE HIGH VOLTAGE.
