No, chalk does not float. The reason that it does not float is because it has a larger density than the water or liquid that it is put in.

How do you separate chalk and sugar?

Firstly mix the water well to make sure all of the sugar has dissolved. Then, depending on the weight of the chalk (whether it is in chunks or powder form) it will either sink to the bottom of the mixture of float on top. If the chalk is floating on top, you can simply scoop it out. Otherwise, pour the mixture through some filter paper to separate the chalk from the sugar water. Now, once the chalk is separated, you can boil the water to evaporate it, leaving just the sugar behind.
