Rubber ducks float because:
- They are made from a lightweight substance meaning upthrust from the water can counter-balance the downward force from the duck's weight.
- Their bottom has a large flat surface area, meaning the upthrust has a larger area to push against.
- They are filled with air, which is lighter and less dense than water, so it will naturally push upwards in water (think of when you blow bubbles underwater-the bubbles float upwards)
Hope I helped :)

Can a bowling ball float on water?
A golf ball sinks because it is tired of being whacked with big sticks and has decided to end it all by drowning itself. The golf ball sinks because it is heavier than the water it displaces. If the ball were put in a fluid with a higher density than ordinary water, like molten lead, it would actually float.
Is cork float or sink in water?
If you dropped a cork in a container of water, the cork will most definitely float. As to the cork is lite, like a feather and it doesnt container much mass.
Why would inflated balloon float on water?
It's the balloon's volume and mass. If a thing has enough volume to compensate for its mass it will float on water, which also explains why steel ships can float, they have a huge hull. Check out the Yamato, a huge battleship of Japan during WWII.
Does a bounce ball float in water?
No, bounce balls are typically made of rubber or plastic, so they are denser than water and will sink rather than float.
Why do rocks sink and rubber balls float in a swimming pool?
Whether an object sinks or floats depends on the objects buyoncy. If an object has a higher buoyancy then water it will generally sink, and less it will float.

Why Does rubber float in oil?
Rubber has a lower density compared to oil, which causes it to float on the surface of the oil. This difference in density results in a buoyant force that pushes the rubber to float rather than sink.
Does a rubber band float?
Yes and no. Rubber bands can float and sink in water. They will float on the water for awhile and then will sink. But not all the time the rubber bands will float on the water for awhile. Sometimes it will immediately sink.
Will rubber band float in oil?
Yes, a rubber band will float in oil because rubber is less dense than oil. This causes the rubber band to displace a volume of oil greater than its own weight, allowing it to float on the oil's surface.
