Independent variables for types woods absorbing in water?
For studying the absorption of water by different types of wood, independent variables could include the type of wood being tested (e.g., oak, pine, maple), the surface area of the wood exposed to water, and the temperature of the water used for soaking the wood. These variables can be controlled and manipulated to understand their effects on water absorption by the different types of wood.
Why does the oak wood float on water but not on paraffin?
Oakwood floats on water because it is less dense than parrafin. water has a density of about 1.0 g/cm3 and anything less than that floats (oakwood) and anything more than that sinks (parrafin) I do not know the answer to this question, however I do konwthat parrafin has a density of 0.8 g/cm3 so it should float on water.

Will oak log float in water?
Yes if the density of the wood is less than that of water, no if the wood is high density (like ironwood) in which case it sinks. Even common woods like oak will sink uner the proper circumstances. There is a thriving industry on the Ottawa River in Canada salvaging sunken logs which have been underwater for more than a hundred years.
