Does a capped empty plastic water float or not?
Yes, a capped, empty, plastic water bottle will almost always float in water. This is because the density of plastic water bottles (the 12- or 20-oz kind) is very low compared to water itself. As long as it is empty and capped, no water will enter the bottle while it is tipped over in the liquid, and so it will not be weighed down by the addition of any liquid.

Do chicken bones float?
A dense heavy bone would not float and a skull without any internal contents through decomposition or insect infestation would not hold water or a probable air pocket and so would sink, light porous bone might float especially in sea water. If a skull had previously been buried and there had been a gradual filling of the cranial cavity with soil so that an air pocket was formed within the area above the ear holes and nasal hole, a skull might float, at least until the soil dissolved.
