It's hull design/shape. The hull has to displace enough water so it can move. And if your building a boat, I recommend trying it out in a shallow pond that's deeper than its draft.

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.

How can wooden boat float on water but a steel boat will not?

If any object, placed on the water, weighs more than the total weight of the water it displaces, it will sink. Your Steel boat probably has a too thick hull, making it very heavy. A thinner hull, making the boat lighter, just might float your boat!


How can you float a piece of solid material that is dense water?

You can float a dense solid material on water by shaping it into a boat-like structure that displaces enough water to create buoyancy. Another method is to attach a buoyant material, such as foam or a hollow container, to the dense material to increase its overall buoyancy.
