Will these beads float? And are they firm? I need these for a science project.

They will definitely float. Same kind of styrofoam that you would find in a bean bag

I'm pretty sure they'll float. I would say 98% certain that they will float. They are somewhat firm, but you can squeeze them, and crush them. They are not as firm as Styrofoam from an ice chest or from packaging.

Yes they will float. They are mildly firm but with a little pressure can be squished between your fingers. They are also highly changed with static electricity so they will stick to everything when you first open it which is kind of a pain in the ass but depends on our situation. Also, this box was a BIG box of it so not sure how much you need but it's A LOT more than I needed. If you want, I'll sell you mine for less. I only used about a large ziplock bags worth of it so I still have a whole box pretty much. Either way, good luck with your experiments.

It should be okay they are pretty wide. You could always find some flat rocks to put under the three legs for better stability or if you can find some thick hard plastic and have them cut to fit under the legs that would help from them sinking.

No, we use them for our kids to play with so we put them in a large bowl and they do not float.

That was my original intention as well, but when submerged in water the pearls lose visible definition and just look like vaguely purple water. I found they look better when you drain the excess water out of them, so not ideal for floating candles. Instead, I will use them in the bottom of vases of artificial flower arrangements. For the floating candles I played around with putting artificial flowers in the water, but ended up deciding to place the flowers around the outside of the base of the cylinders (gluing them onto a silver plastic tray so they don't blow away).

I own two of these, and I used them when I was around the 350 mark. They will float with that much weight but obviously they sit lower in the water. Hope that helps

Yes! I personally own a few of these and they float about mid way, not completely on the surface but still float. Using an iPhone

They are not heavy and are smooth on the bottom. Depending on the wind, I could see these going flying.If you stack them when not in use then they will be fine, there is enough weight there to keep them put.

At first thought this was a joke Q ......but I have seen the ceramic mushrooms that sit on top of the stem and do move so hoping that's what you are asking about lol These do not move at all ............ solid, but are beautiful ..... I actually would love another set ... thanks for the Q have a great day :) Helen

No they do not float but i have never had them slip off. The straps are snug and the rubber tops have great suction so they stay on well.

They do tend to sink slightly depending on how hard packed your ground is. We packed our sand quite firm and did not use any extra materials. Some of the youtube videos do show wood pieces or cement blocks, but we did not use anything and had no problem.

The cards are 100% plastic so they won't warp when wet. That said, I don't know how well they would float. Safe to use around the pool? Most definitely. To use them in a pool while swimming? I wouldn't recommend it.

Not sure what you mean by squishy but they are about three inches thick and are firm enough that you don't sink all the way to the bottom. We found them soft enough to sit in for long periods if time.

I think so. They are not made for the water but there are not stickers that would come off or anything that might be damaged from the water. I would just make sure to set them out to dry when you are finished with them.

The main tube is cardboard. So they will probably float for a short time but would be unusable afterwards.

Hello, I have mine contained inside a filter but I just checked and they do float. There are some black ones for sale on amazon that do sink.

I think they would easily hold liquid with super glue. I have embroidery beads in mine and have only had one incident. The cork got stuck and it was hard to remove.

They were a gift for my niece, so I really do not know if they float. I believe they do... but am not 100% sure.
