Linking the laboratory studies with everyday life can provide a more meaningful structure of the learned information. The science curriculum contains similar topics in the curriculum all over the world. However, there are differences in practice. One reason for these differences is that the various materials and experiments required for teaching are not the same. Primary school is one of the basic subjects taught in all levels of the electrical, science and physics education included in the science curriculum from the 3rd grade level. Related to the electrical charges and electrification, which are the basis of electricity, students begin to gain experience starting from young ages. It can be said that the experiments conducted under teacher guideline which are easily found in most environments are interesting and easily understood by the students. One of these experiments is the "electric flying balloon" experiment, in which the "electric/physical phenomena in our lives" unit of the 8th class is made possible by simple tools. The purpose of this research is to design a practical experimental activity for the use of teachers and to obtain the opinions of teachers about this experimental activity by means of simple tools. The research was carried out using inquiry approach related to the teaching of electrical charges and electrification for the 8th grade science curriculum of secondary school. For this purpose, an activity plan and a video were planned for the teachers to use in the classroom. In this research using the qualitative research approach, we have used the pattern of phenomenology that we frequently encounter in our daily lives but not have knowledge in-depth or investigation cases, events or experiences that we have not thought much about before. For this purpose, a semi-structured interview method was used. 16 science teachers participated in the research. Participants were selected on the basis of "maximum diversity sampling" among teachers of different ages, seniority and different cities. The names of the teachers were kept confidential and the teachers were given the code from F1 to F16. Semi-structured interview forms were prepared as data collection tools. For the validity of the data collection tool, 2 faculty members and 3 teachers have been applied. For the reliability of the data collection tool, the findings were presented without comment, and the researchers agreed on the coding of the data and %K Fizik £¿£¿retimi %K elektriklenme %K basit ara£¿ gere£¿ %K fen deney etkinli£¿i %U http://dergipark.org.tr/omuefd/issue/35216/346848
