Why do kick boards always float to the top?
It is a matter of density. For some equal volume of water and kick board, say the size of your fist, the kick board has less mass in that given volume than water does. This means that for the same volume of kick board and water, the kick board weighs less than the water within the Earth's gravity. Hence, the kick board has a lower density [density = mass / volume] and thus floats on top of water. It is the same reason the kick board does not float in the air, the air has a lower density than the kick board!
