Displacement Expearment

This my prediction what is going to happen when I put this objects in the water and how it will displaces the water and how high it goes. I hope you enjoy and Please comment.

I noticed that when I made the different shapes out of clay that it displaced the same amount of water because the clay was still the same weight for every shape.
