In this paper is presented a research on primary school teachers in order to find out if the teachers have included experiments in their teaching of natural science. What they try to do themselves, what they do not do and why they do not do it. More specifically, it has been tried to find out what is the teachers' standpoint against experiments, what problems they face concerning the use of experiments in the teaching of Science and what teachers suggest on the teaching of the subject of Science in the primary school.
