How do you know when a solid is less dense then water?
When it floats in water.
An ice cube floats in your glass of water just as an iceberg floats in the ocean.What conclusion can you draw about the density of solid water?
liquid water is more dense than solid water
What kind of solid sinks?
A solid that has a density greater than the density of the medium it is placed in (i.e. water). So a piece of lead is more dense than water, and so it sinks. Styrofoam is not very dense, and it floats.

its a solid
Is it impossible for a solid to float on a liquid?

Does a piece of wood float or sink into water?
The piece of wood floats in water because its specific gravity is less than water.
