What Materials Will Sink In Water. On the flip side, if an object is less dense than water, it will float. Show students a clear plastic container of water. Materials that sink in water: Begin a discussion about sinking and floating by placing a stick and a stone in water. Hold up a small stick and a stone and ask students. Specifically, when placed in water, an object sinks into the water until it displaces an amount of water equal to its own mass. Floating is what we call it when objects. If an object is more dense than water it will sink when placed. If an object’s density is higher than the density of water, it will sink. The heavy materials or substances sink to the bottom of the water solution. Density is a measure of how heavy something is compared to its size. A grain of sand will sink because sand is denser than water. A penny, paperclip, or button sank because the materials they are made of (metal for a paperclip and penny, plastic for a button) had more density than water.
