16: Flotation Device
Jul 18, 2005

Wally’s right, ice does float! This is because unlike many other things, water is 9% less dense in its frozen state, so it is lighter than water and is displaced by it. If you really have an interest in science and want to know why it becomes less dense when freezing you can research hydrogen bonding.
