7. 7 Corporate Affairs Group Your Task- Collaborate to Build a Top Goal: Build a top and make it spin the longest Time: 15 minutes to complete the task Materials: Thin cardboard sheet or cartridge paper, a ball point pen, a pencil, an A4 size white paper, a glue stick, scissors, tape, a sharpener, a compass point, and a piece of cloth Make it Spin

8. Did you and your partner mostly agree on the ways to accomplish the task in the given time? Did you listen to each other when you didn’t agree and reach a compromise? How did you feel when your ideas gave you expected results or when they didn’t work? Why is it important to allow students the freedom to pursue learning through inquiry, collaboration and experimentation?
