1. What differences can you see between the styrofoam and the ice cube? I believe you can answer this by just observing what happens.

--Hint: Ice is denser than styrofoam that's why it sinks.

2. I believe you can answer the second one too by just observing what the other blocks do and what the blue block does. It should be intuitive what the difference there is.
