Answer:

To demonstrate isostatic rebound, the student should press down the block of wood into the water and release it.

Step-by-step explanation:

During glacial periods, land masses are often suppressed by the massive weights of ice sheets, this occurrence is known as isostatic depression, however, after glacial periods, a rebound occurs whereby suppressed land masses rise again, this rise is known as Isostatic rebound.
