The Coconut Opening Challenge

 As we have been studying Fiji for topic this week the children were provided with a traditional Fiji challenge...opening a coconut.  The students were asked to work collaboratively to come with an idea to open the coconut.  The one provision was that they were not allowed to use a knife.   We had some fantastic solutions using a hammer, cracking it on the concrete and using a drill.  We timed each group and Coreys group won but using the crack on the concrete technique.
