Newton's cradle may not work as effectively with Styrofoam balls compared to metal balls, as Styrofoam balls are lighter and less dense. The lighter weight of Styrofoam balls could affect the momentum transfer between the balls, potentially leading to a less pronounced swinging motion in the Newton's cradle.
The property that separates styrofoam balls is their buoyancy. Styrofoam balls are lightweight and have air trapped inside, making them less dense than water. This causes them to float on the surface of water, separating them from denser materials that sink.
You can get Styrofoam balls from any craft store. Check Michaels craft store.

When Styrofoam balls are placed in boiling water, they will start to melt and deform because Styrofoam is a type of plastic that softens under heat. The heat causes the air pockets in the material to expand and the balls to lose their shape, resulting in a gooey mass. Additionally, the release of toxic fumes from the melting Styrofoam can be harmful if inhaled.

The bag of stones is heavier because stones have a much higher density than styrofoam balls. Density is mass divided by volume, so the weight of the material is determined by the mass. Stones are denser and therefore heavier than styrofoam balls of the same volume.
