You can - if you push it down! LOL, but no because the density of water decreases when energy is took away unlike most substances. When energy is being took away it gets denser and denser until it hits 4 degrees celcius. Then the density starts to decrease again. This a miracle of nature because if water did not do this fish would die every winter since the water would not only be at the top.

well what if the water was really hot making it less dense

Why do ice cubes sink but when you drink the water they rise to the top?
Ice cubes don't sink in water, as the density of an ice cube is less than the density of water.
Do ice cubes in water float or sink?
They float, as ice is less dense than water.
What if ice cubes are put in kerosene?
The ice cubes will sink.
Why do some ice cubes float and some sink?
Because some ice cubes are cooler than others. The ones that just have that awesomeness, sink.
Why don't iceburgs sink?
Ice is less dense than liquid water, so it floats. This is the same reason why ice cubes float in a glass of water.
Are ice cubes water in liquid state?
Ice cubes are solid water.
What melts faster water ice cubes or soda ice cubes?
Water :)
Why does ice cubes float on top of water?
Ice cubes are less dense than water.
Why do ice cubes float in drinks and water?
Because ice cubes are less dense than water.
Why don't ice cubes melt faster in cold water?
Ice cubes don't faster in cold water because the temparature of cold water is low, ice cubes melt faster in high temparature.
Do ice cubes float higher in alcohol?
No. Ice cubes will sink in pure alcohol, and will float lower in low-proof alcoholic beverages. This is because alcohol is less dense than ice.
Would ice cubes melt in hot water first or will the ice cubes freeze the water first?
If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.
