How can you make clay float in water?
In order for clay to float in water, you must spread it out as much as you can and form it into a boat shape, or you could spread it out, and take it and form it into a ball, but leave a big pocket of air in the middle, and it should float either way if done right.
How does the shape of the boat effect it to sink or float?
The science is called "displacement". If the shape of the boat allows the amount of the boat in the water to be less weight than the water it displaces it will float. If the amount of the boat in the water weighs more than the water it displaces it will sink.

How does an objects size and shape affect buoyancy?
Well, buoyancy is capacity to float in liquid. So the object needs to have air to make it float an example for an boat the Titanic for example was really heavy it was made out of steel so it had air in the bottom to make the ship float.
Does silver float?
No gold is more dense than water so it sinks and in the gold rush in Cali they paned underwater
Do material and shape affect buoyancy of a toy boat?
Yes it does because depending on the materials of the boat and how much their mass is can change the buoyancy of the toy boat. Boat can be designed to have less volume in order for it to have less density and be able to float. So if the material's mass is alot if can make the boat sink. If the material's mass is not alot then it can help the boat float. If the shape is designed to have more volume than mass it will float. If not then it will sink.
What helps a ship float?
It's shape displaces the entire weight of the boat at the waterline.
Does steel float on water?
