Answer»

Yes, we can make iron to float on water. 

Procedure: 

  1. Take a piece of iron and drop it in a vessel of water.
  2. We observe that the iron piece sinks in water. 
  3. Take a thin foil of iron and fold it into four folds. 
  4. Drop it in water. It sinks.
  5. Now unfold the foil and bend it in the form of a bowl. [You can use an iron tin also] 
  6. Now drop the bowl in water.

Reason: 

The weight of water displaced by iron bowl (iron tin) is less than the weight of the iron bowl (iron tin).
