A bottle, though heavier than water, can be made to float by trapping air inside of it. This same bottle can be made to sink by filling it with water, or a substance heavier than water. It can again float by emptying it and trapping air in it.

To make a bottle sink, you can simply fill it with a material denser than water, such as sand or rocks. When the bottle is submerged in water, the denser material inside causes it to sink.
