Do marbles sink or float?
Sink
What will happen to lead when it is dropped into water?
It will sink
Are corks lighter then marbles?
Yes, a cork will often float on the surface of water, depending on the cork's density. But a marble will sink in water because of its weight. It will not float on the surface.
Do marbles sink?
In what?Find out the density (mass/volume) of a marble per gram and compare it to water (1.0)If it weighs more than 1.0g then it sinks.
Example of things that sink in water?
Lead weight, a stone, the list is endless.

Why do marbles sink?
Because they are denser than whatever you have put them into — water or thin mud for example. Gravity pulls them downwards.

For the nails, you can use a magnet. You can separate the marbles and corks by putting it in water, wood floats and marbles don't.

Why does a marble sink into water but an aircraft carrier which is heavier float?
Because the marble has a lesser density than water. And also because of the marbles shape and size. :)

What procedure would you use to find the density of the marbles?
You weigh it in some water and if it float its density is less than one and if it sink its over than one
Can lead weights sink or float?
It depends upon its shape. A solid brick of lead will sink. A lead weight pressed into the shape of a bowl will float, because it displaces more water, and is therefore buoyant enough to float.
