Water
Ice can't sink hunny :) It is less dense then water (density= 1.0) and therefore, it can only float, not ever sink.
To make an ice cube sink, you can add salt to the water before freezing the ice cube. The salt lowers the freezing point of water, making the ice cube denser than the surrounding water and causing it to sink.
Yes, melting an ice cube is a physical change because the substance is undergoing a change in state from a solid to a liquid without altering its chemical composition.
Hard plastic, like the used in coolers. It is about the same material as a refrigerator. I did a project on this for another question, so I cut up an old cooler into a cube, then picked up some foam for a second layer over the cube, like the kind of material shaped in a box that you use to ship cold things in the mail.
Ice cubes are not always true cubes to begin with but we call them that anyway. If you were to break one it would just be smaller pieces of ice which depending on your perception could still be called cubes.
Try dish soap.
Yes
Let it melt !

an ice cube cannot sink in water because its density is less than that of water. this is because of the air bubbles trapped inside; that make the ice cube less dense than water.

because it do why you need to know
Ice cubes don't sink in water, as the density of an ice cube is less than the density of water.
float dua
An ice cube sinks in alcohol because alcohol is less dense than water. The ice cube, being made of frozen water, has a higher density than alcohol, causing it to sink in the less dense liquid.
The ice absorbs heat from the water, which is why it melts
If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.
