When I did it I was experimenting and it floated!
Whether a pen floats or sinks in water depends on its material. A plastic pen will typically float, while a metal pen will likely sink. The density of the material determines whether an object will float or sink in water.
Some plastics will float in water and others will sink. It depends on the type of plastic and in particular it depends on the density of the plastic material. This property is used as a method for separating the different plastics sent for recycling. Polyethylene and Polypropylene, for example, will float in water while PVC and ABS will sink.
Clothespins typically float in water because they are made of lightweight wood or plastic. However, if the clothespin becomes saturated with water, it may eventually sink.
Blocks made of materials like wood or plastic would typically float in water, while blocks made of materials like metal or concrete would sink. The density and composition of the block determine whether it will sink or float in water.
Objects that are denser than water will sink, such as rocks, metal objects, and certain types of wood. Objects that are less dense than water will float, such as plastic bottles, rubber ducks, and foam.
put water in to let it sink... then put air into it to let it float...
All plastic items float on water, so therefore a plastic boat floats on water.
That depends what it's made of ! A metal one will sink, but a wooden or plastic one will float.
A plastic always sink in oil like a plastic bottle will always float in oil.

Water has a density of about 1.0, knowing this you can tell if an object will sink or float by calculating the objects density.

This really depends on how dense the plastic is. If it is denser than water, plastic will sink at the bottom. The temperature of the water does not affect whether or not something will float on that liquid.
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
