Things that float or sink on water:

1)penny: sinks 2)twig: floats 3)pen cap: floats 4)small leaf: floats 5)rock: sinks
6)paper clip: sinks
do you think you would get the same result if these items were dropped into a glass of vegetable oil of water ?
(please a scientific or a good explained answer plzzz)

Some of the objects might still sink/ float based on their density compared to the viscosity of the vegetable oil.
