Place several cookies in a box, and then shake the box.

Place a paper boat in a ditch, and then use water from a hose to make it sail away.

Place drops of acid on chalk, and then observe the chemical reaction.

Place ice cream in a bowl, and then watch it melt.

Place drops of acid on chalk, and then observe the chemical reaction is what makes the most sense to me, but I'm not 100 sure, so if I'm wrong I'm very very sorry but i am pretty confident that is right so

To model the physical weathering of rock, the student could perform the activity of placing several cookies in a box and then shaking the box. Here's how to determine the answer:

1. Read the options carefully and identify which activities involve physical processes that can cause weathering.
2. Option 1: Placing several cookies in a box and shaking the box. This mimics the process of rocks being jostled and bumped by external forces, which can cause them to break apart or fragment. This process is known as "mechanical weathering."
3. Option 2: Placing a paper boat in a ditch and using water from a hose to make it sail away. This activity does not directly simulate physical weathering of rocks.
4. Option 3: Placing drops of acid on chalk and observing the chemical reaction. This activity involves a chemical reaction rather than physical weathering.
5. Option 4: Placing ice cream in a bowl and watch it melt. This activity represents a physical change but does not simulate weathering of rocks.

Based on the options presented, the most appropriate activity for modeling the physical weathering of rock is to place several cookies in a box and then shake the box.
