Will silicon sink or float in water?
Silicon will sink in water.
Why does water flow down a drain the opposite direction in the Southern hemisphere?
Water flows in both directions regardless of hemisphere. In Physics, there is the Coriolis Effect that describes the flow/movement of water due to a variety of factors, and this is sometimes used to add validity to the myth, but the Coriolis Effect does not occur in small bodies of water such as a sink or toilet. The direction of water flow in a a sink or toilet depends on the direction that the water flows into the sink or toilet -- regardless of hemisphere. You can test this yourself by pouring a pitcher of water from the left side of a sink and then from the right side, you will see that the water will flow accordingly -- this experiment will have the same result in Sydney, Australia as it will in London, England.
Why would boulder weather slowly while small rocks weather quickly?
1) The most obvious is that a boulder is significantly larger than a pebble or smaller boulder or rock. This would give the illusion of a smaller pebble weathering quiker than a boulder, when they are actually weathering at the same rate 2) The way they are being weather can be a factor. If you have a boulder being hit by only water or air while a pebble is all over the river bottom and sand than the pebble will weather quicker because there are more forces acting on it than the boulder.
Why would a small pebble sink and an oil tanker floats?
Because a pebble is denser than water thus making it sink oil is not denser than water. you can test this by pouring some oil in a glass of water it floats on top of the water it doesn't sink it is the same theory with the oil tanker in the sea.
Why does a pebble sink on water and a piece of wood doesn't?
The pebble is heavier than water so it sinks. The wood isn't heavier than water so it floats.
How can we find the volume of small pebble with the help of measurin cylinder?
First put water in measuring cylinder and note the volume of water. Next, put the pebble in it.
What is a small rock called?

Does volume determine whether an object floats or sinks?
Not at all. A small pebble and a giant boulder both sink, but a small feather and a giant battleship both float.
Are objects that sink are more dense than water?
Yes, the weight of the object doesn't matter as much as the density. For example, a pebble will sink in water because it is very dense, yet a log won't because it's not as dense as water.
Why would a small pebble sink and a steel ship float?
Well, its not the steel in the ship that floats exactly, its the oxygen contained in the ship, the more water something displaces means the more water is pushing it in horizontal direction. and because of the shapes of ships causes it to be pushed up.
