Balsa wood would float because it is one of the lightest woods available, with a density lower than that of water. Its low density allows it to displace enough water to support its weight, making it buoyant. This property is why balsa wood is often used in model building and lightweight structures.
While there are a lot of varieties of pine wood, all of the ones I've seen are less dense than water (they will float).
That depends on the type of wood. Most woods, e.g. aspen (0.42 kg/metre cubed) would be more dense than bamboo (about 0.35 kg/metre cubed), but balsa wood has very low density, (0.16 kg/metre cubed).
You will need cardboard or balsa wood for the frame and gondolaÊof the airship. For the blimp itself you will need a mylar bag or some other kind of nylon material, as well as helium.
i dont no i am trying to find out to for a wood assignment but if i do find out i will tell you and if you find out email me at davidsonbob59@yahoo.com i think though, that the difference is that the wood is opaque and that the plastic is transparent.

balsa wood is recycable because it is basicly a lighter form of regular wood
Balsa wood is so light that it makes it easy to make a structure out of. You just have to find slightly lighter balsa wood. I made a 15 gram structure in 5th grade and it held over 200 lbs.
No, balsa wood is not magnetic because it does not contain any magnetic properties. Balsa wood is a lightweight and soft type of wood that is commonly used in crafting and model making due to its versatility and ease of use.
It depends how much ice and how much balsa wood you have.
