How did Maori shape stones?

One of our inquiry questions was how did Maori shape stones?

We decided to experiment with different types of stones and scarped them onto the ground to see what would happen.



We noticed that they changed colour and heated up if we scraped them very quickly.



We decided that it would have taken a long time and then when an adze was made, it must have been a treasure!
