Salt makes most things float on water. So just add a good amount of salt. Depending on the size of the object

Answer:

Objects will only float in liquid that is denser than the object. In the case of water this means the density of the object must be less than 1 g/cm3, the density of water at its highest density at about 6oC.

If the object is not a solid block of material the density is the density of the volume of the object. In the case of a light bulb (as an example) the density of the components of the bulb if crushed will exceed the density of the water and sink, but in the shape of an intact bulb, the density is less than that of the water and the bulb will float.

What makes objects float on water?

If an object is less dense than water, it floats. I don't know exactly why having less density than something else makes something float, but I believe it has to do with the weight of the particles. The lightest ones rise to the top, while the heaviest ones drop to the bottom. This can be seen when you add oil to water.
