In order for clay to float in water, you must spread it out as much as you can and form it into a boat shape, or you could spread it out, and take it and form it into a ball, but leave a big pocket of air in the middle, and it should float either way if done right.

Gravity and Upward force. If the upward force is greater than the weight caused by gravity than the plasticine will float.
Depends on the medium, and whether the ball is solid or not. A solid ball would float on mercury, sink in water. If it were hollow enough (or filled with, say, cork) it would float in water.
Yes.
No, a ball will float higher in oil than in water because the density of oil is lower than that of water. The buoyant force experienced by the ball in oil is greater, causing it to float higher.
Float the ball in water and calculate the displacement.
means that plasticine has higher density.
