How can you make a ball of clay float?
To make a ball of clay float, you can shape the clay into a hollow sphere or add buoyant materials inside. By creating a structure that displaces enough water to counteract the weight of the clay, it can float on the surface of water. You can also try reducing the density of the clay by incorporating air bubbles or using a lightweight clay mixture.
Why does a solid piece of clay while a clay boat can be made to float?

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 can you build a boat made of clay that will float on water?
You could built a boat of clay. Provided the clay has been fired and will not dissolve in water. Provided that once placed in water, it is able to displace its gross weight and still have ample freeboard to prevent water coming inboard. Whether the clay walls of the vessel is strong enough to withstand the considerable forces of the oceans is another matter!
