Providing a two-pan balance and asking students to find how many pennies it takes to balance a small rock would be the most appropriate activity to practice weighing. This activity specifically focuses on the skill of weighing and allows students to practice using a balance to find the weight of an object. The other activities involve measuring length, volume, and temperature, which are not directly related to the skill of weighing.
