We say something is floats when jt is put in a liquid and it stays floating on the top, it is the opposite of sink.
Examples of Floating Objects
Why Objects Float
Every object is made out of molecules, if these are spread apart the object is less dense and it will float. Changing the size, material or shape of an object may make a difference as to whether if floats or sinks.
Testing If Something Floats or Sinks
You can test if an object will float or sink by putting it into some water, if it stays on top if floats, otherwise if it falls to the bottom it sinks. This is called an experiment.
