Definition: Of an object or substance, to be supported by a liquid of greater density than the object so as that part of the object or substance remains above the surface.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! We’ve got a tricky word today – “floating.” It can sound a little strange, but it's really quite neat. The dictionary gives us a good clue, you see, “Of an object or substance, to be supported by a liquid, you agree? One that’s denser than the thing itself, it's true, So part of it stays above, for me and for you!” Let's break that down nice and slow. Think about a cork in a glass of water bright – It looks like it’s dancing, light as a sprite! The water is heavier, thick and deep, But the cork stays afloat, secrets to keep. “Floating” means something isn't sinking down, It’s resting on the liquid, all over town… (well, in the glass!) It's held up by the density difference you see, Like a ship upon the ocean, wild and free! Do you have any questions about floating today? Don’t be shy, let your thoughts display!”
