1. All scientific activities need to start with inquiry.
2. Our activities need to be designed and carried out with the philosophies as cognitive
“constructivist”, and as “participative”( La main à la pâte , 2007) in practice.
3. Our basic point of action in experiments is “You try, too”, in observation is “I am observing with my senses”.
4. We need to use scientific process skills in our experiments and observations.
5. Without a theoretical framework experiments and observations are not meaningful.
6. We need to be alert for students' misconceptions during experiments and observations.
7. The teaching and learning process needs to be student-centered.
8. We can make the world in which we live in the laboratory/classroom environment meaningful: we can explain many complex phenomena with simple materials.
9. Student participation in the basis of experimental and observational activities. The teacher is the participation assistant, the teacher is in the position of systematic guide.
10. All activities related to science education must be systematic before class, during class and after class.
11. The teacher has primary responsibility for “knowledge of the area” in the activity.
12. It is important to use time well in our activities.
13. Cognitive and perceptive activities strengthen learning.
14. Subjects taught need to be related to daily life.
15. We should never forget that we are responsible for the natural environment.
16. It is important for us to have a scientific culture and make those around us aware of this subject. We should not forget our own responsibility on this subject.
17. The variety of mental exercises are important to our activities.
18. Teachers need to carry out activities themselves first before implementing the first you try philosophy.
19. Observations and experiments and the ideas generated with them need to be shared, discussed and the results need to be reported.
20. First the learning activity process is evaluated then the characteristic in the tasks of the activity processes
21. Care needs to be taken that Turkish is used correctly for the productivity of sharing in activities. The native language and the combined scientific language are the foundation of the scientific culture.
