A pencil will float in salt or fresh water equally well, because is it lighter than the amount of water it displaces.
Idk why doooo theyyy
The half dollar has the greatest density because it will sink, the water has more density than the pencil because the pencil will float.
3.95 NO Since an ordinary wooden pencil will float in water, clearly its density is less than 1.
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.

no, a pencil will float therefore it is less dense than water(ticonderoga #2 pencil was used)no pencils were harmed in the execution of this experiment

Im not sure but i think u shoukld hollow the middle
first of all it depends on the type of pencil. Heavier pencils may sink bu tmost pencils will float.
Our class has done this and it turns out that some of the things that happens include: 1:The water turns the color of the paint on the pencil. 2.The water starts to get soaked up by the wood. 3.Some of the water evaporates from the container. (We used a beaker for our container.) 4.The pencil still writes, but its very very dull. 5.Some pieces of the lead fuzz up and float to the bottom of the container. We have yet to finish this experiment. Updates coming soon! ^_^!

it will float so the answer is yes
The main body of the pencil is made from soft wood which is naturally boyant, the pencil 'lead' is not lead at all but a much lighter substance called graphite. Your pencil is just not heavy enough to sink.
The one which flow has less density than the water (i.e. 1) means no screws will be there and they will be stuck with some adhesive.The one which sinks has more density than water and screws might be used in it because screws are generally made from iron whose density is more than that of water.
