Have you ever wounder how boats float? The science behind all of this was found by a Greek scientist named Archimedes. He found that When an object is put in water it pushes enough water to make room for the object. This is called displacement. This happens all the time, like when you get into the bath tub the water level will rise for it to make room for you. Thats why most rocks wont float cause it does not move enough water out of it's way. But a boat move a LOT of water so it can float. That is how boats can float.
