Which property causes a ball to sink and a boat to float?
Density is the property that causes a ball to sink and a boat to float. If an object is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink, while if the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
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.

Why cana boat float and not a rock?
A boat can float because the mass of the water it displaces is greater than the mass of the boat itself, creating an upward buoyant force. A rock, on the other hand, is denser than water and therefore displaces less water than its own mass, resulting in a downward force greater than the buoyant force, causing it to sink.
