Debbie was doing a science lab, and she was instructed to decide whether a piece of plastic would float or sink without actually putting the plastic in the water. How could she do this?

Find the density of the plastic. if the density is less than that of water, it's going to float. If it's more than the density of water, then it's going to sink.
