How does a steel ship float when steel marble sinks?
A steel marble will sink because it's solid steel and heavier than water all the way through. A steel ship is hollow and the inside is full of air. Just the shell is heavier than water but, on the whole with the air inside, the ship is lighter than the water so it floats. Experiment: Take an old, empty can (with no lid on it) from the kitchen and submerge it water. It will stay submerged. The can itself is heavier than water. Now fish the can out and empty the water out of it, and put a small weight (maybe a small piece of stone or something) to hold the can upright in the water. The can will now float!
