The activity that best models physical weathering of rock is:

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

This activity simulates the physical breakdown of materials through mechanical means, similar to how rocks are worn down by physical forces like rolling, breaking, or being hit against other materials. The cookies represent rocks, and shaking the box represents the forces that can physically weather them.
