This is for a school project, I need to make a boat that can float with 4 or more pounds on it, and it can’t drown. I need to know the best wood that can be used to float on water.

I have a project where I need to weigh the amount of wood sanded. I need to get the most wood sanded off with the least amount of effort. My teacher said that balsa might work but that he wasn’t sure because there might be something better. He said that some soft woods just turn to “mush” when you try to sand them.
Does anyone know the best type of wood that’s not too expensive, does not require too much effort to sand, and loses the most wood shavings?
Also, what grain of sandpaper should be used with it?
