Why does ice float?
As water freezes, the molecules spread out decreasing its density.
As water freezes, it takes up more hydrogen from the atmosphere, causing it to have a greater buoyancy.
As water freezes, air gets trapped making it more dense
As water freezes, it takes up more oxygen from the atmosphere, causing it to be more dense

Why does water move from the roots to the leaves of plants?
Water is pushed by solutes
Capillary action pulls the water molecules up like a chain
Water is pulled by gravity
Water cannot move up roots to leaves
