This study is the result of qualitative research of school procedures and teachers’ conceptions about experimentation, instrumental activity, or practical classes. We have interviewed teachers working in the first years of elementary school in the town of Rio Grande/RS and observed their classes, in order to analyze the way in which experimentation is used in the science teaching and learning process. Through the collected data we perceived that the types of materials used, the daily activity of the students and the possibility of constructing learning are important points for the teacher when dealing with practical activities in class.

Palabras clave : Experimentation; Science Education; Constructivism.
