Breaking boards
Part of Lesson Plan: Cool Cutting Boards
Activity Overview / Details
Day ONE
Students are gathered around the glue table or work bench.
Ask the students "Who likes to cook in your family?" Ask them if they have ever seen or used a cutting board before. Tell them that a good cutting board is made up of very hard woods and carefully joined edge joints.
Take a poorly constructed edge glue joint and break it over the edge of a work bench and say "WOW"! Take another very good edge glue joint and break it over the edge of a work bench and say "WOW"! Have the students examine the two breaks and discuss the difference between them.
They should note that the poorly glue board breaks on the glue line and the good joint break the wood and does not follow the glue joint (if you can break the board at all).
Tell students that with the proper wood glue we can have great, lasting joints that can be stronger than the wood itself if the wood glue is properly selected and applied.
