These mice need to split
a big block of cheese.
Which tool would
be best to use?
You can try
this, too!
What you'll need:
variety of tools
cutting board
block of cheese
safety goggles
(The mice have them!)
1
The goal is to split the cheese into slices.
2
The mice try splitting the cheese with a whisk. Hmmmm… That didn’t work so well.
3
The mice know that the tines on a fork are wedges. They try a fork next. Stabbing the cheese with a fork only breaks the cheese.
4
A kitchen knife seems to be the answer!
5
Now all the mice have a slice of cheese. Which wedge worked best for you?
