Sinking and floating has to do with density, which is the mass (how heavy it is) of the object over the volume (the amount of space it takes up). Water has a density of exactly one, which means every gram of water takes up one mL of space. If something is more dense than water (meaning the object packs a lot of matter into little space), then it will sink. If it is less dense than water (meaning it's less matter taking up a lot of room), then it will float. This is true for any fluid, but I'm using water as an example because the density of other fluids varies.
