Can light things float on water?
If it has enough surface area such as a leaf or bigger yes so long as it lands on the water in such a way it traps a little air under it, note..even concrete can float, many septic tanks are made of concrete and will float in only about a foot of water if you dont remember to fill them with water before it rains
Which property of water allows things to float?
The property of water that allows things to float is buoyancy. Water exerts an upward force on objects placed in it, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling the objects down. This buoyant force is what allows objects to float in water.
Do less dense things float in water?
Yes, less dense objects float in water because they are lighter than the water they displace.
What two things float to see?
Wood and plastic typically float on the surface of water due to their low density compared to water.
How do you explain why things sink or float to a 5 year old?
Things sink if they are heavy and push the water down, and float if they are light and let the water hold them up like a balloon.
Can you name some things that dont float in fresh or salt water?
Churches! Very small rocks!
What is a liquid that makes things float?
It is quite common for various things to float in water. But any liquid can cause things to float.

You are green put you in water you dont float what are you?
Denser than water.

What are bobwhites?
things that float in water
Does galena float in water?
No, galena does not float in water because it has a higher density than water. This means that galena will sink when placed in water.
What are facts about lilypads?
Lily pads are green things that float on top of water and frogs jump on them. But dont be fooled-these are very dangerous! :D
Why does salt water make things float?
salt makes the water denser, so things that are now less dense than the salt water will float
How do things float?
things float because they are less denser then the water. second things do not float, the molecules from the water support the molecules from the thing on the water. that is how something heavy can float. it just has to be boyent meaning it is spread out enough so there is more water molecules to hold it up. if you mean in the air it is the same concept.
Why does some things float on water while others dont?
Some things float on water because they are less dense than water, creating buoyancy that allows them to stay afloat. Other things sink in water because they are denser than water, causing them to displace water and sink. Factors like shape, size, and weight can also affect whether something will float or sink in water.
What are the reason why some things float in the water?
Certain things float in water because their density is less than the density of water. If something experiences more upthrust in water than its weight(upthrust>weight) or upthrust=weight, then it floats in water.
