Ever wondered why some objects sink in water and some objects float? It depends on the density of the object. If the object has higher density then the water, it will sink. Use an egg for example. An egg in a cup of water, will sinks. It's because the egg has more density then the water. There is a way to fix that. By adding salt to water, the water gains more density. That means the egg now has less density. So now that the object has less density then the water, your object will now float. To test it, put water in a cup, and put in the egg in, and it will sink. Add salt to the mix, and it will float. Coming to a conclusion that some objects will float or sink. It just depends on the density.
