Icebergs float. If you put an ice cube in water floats to the top. NO other chemical does this.
Freeze olive oil and put it into a cup of liquid olive oil you will see that it sinks.
Be careful – you should ask an adult to help you with these experiments. Do your experiments in old yoghurt pots, jam jars or bottle tops. Don’t use cups or glasses in case someone thinks it’s a drink.
