Conclusion:Things can float/sink, not only by the weight, but also by
the material.

Upthrust: Is a force that pushes things up
eg. When you push a floating object the upthrust force fights back
Can changing an objects shape to increase its
          volume make it float?
Can changing an objects shape to increase its
          volume make it float?
Can changing an objects shape to increase its
          volume make it float?




   Yes! because it holds air and upthrust has more space to push the object
Where does the water go?
Where does the water go?
Where does the water go?




The size of the object displaces the water. The water rises the same amount
               of space the object took. This is displacement.
