Can Rocks Float???

We are currently studying Rocks and Minerals in science. Today we were analyzed four samples of igneous rocks (granite, obsidian, basalt and pumice) and observed the different traits of each rock . The "lighter than air" pumice samples are unique due to the trapped air pockets that allow many of the samples to float in water ! What is an igneous rock? Ask your third grader!
