Kagan Cooperative Learning

The following Kagan activities were conducted by me during internship.
1) Round Robin
I used this activity in class 8 while teaching the topic "Pollution of Air and Water".
The class was divided into groups of 4 students. Each group was given a question. Some questions are as follows:
a) How does air get polluted?
b) How does water get polluted?
Each students had to write down his/her point on the paper provided and circulate the paper. After a cycle of 3 points from each student, one student from each group came forward and read out the points.
2)Pairs Check
I used this activity in class 7 while teaching the topic, "Speed".
After explaining the formula, I divided the class into groups of 4. The 4 member groups were later divided into two pairs. Each pair solved problems individually and then checked their answers with the other pair from the same group. 
My Experience
Students learnt better by correcting each other. If the answers were different, they checked each step to spot the error.
3) Think-Pair-Share
I used this activity in class 7 while teaching "Components of Electric Current". Some questions included in this activity include:
a) What would happen if electricity was not discovered?
b)What would happen if all machines stopped working?
My Experience
This activity was fun and students came up with interesting and unexpected answers.
