With the influence of developments and changes in the world and technology, the importance of laboratory use in science classes is increasing. This is why the number of laboratories in our country’s public schools and the level of physical qualifications are increasing. However, there may be schools without laboratory or physically insufficient. If the possibility of the laboratory is limited, scientific experiments can be done with materials that can be easily found. The aim of this research is to determine the opinions of teachers candidates on the scientific experiments conducted with materials used in daily life. The study 2017-2018 academic year was carried out through the 14 science knowledge teacher candidate who studied in the main science department of the Faculty of Education of the University of Bartin. The research has used a semi-configured conversation form developed by researchers as a data collection tool. The interview form was prepared in the accompaniment of experts and the necessary arrangements were made. The interview form consists of 4 open end questions. Questions include the importance of experimenting with easy-to-find materials in terms of the learning teaching process, the problems encountered during the experiment and the general views of the teaching candidates on this subject. The analysis of data is used. The research has found that experimental practices with easy-to-find materials have a positive impact on learning, that they are economical, that they save time, that they create some challenges in terms of creativity and time, that they increase the desire for experimental design and that they are generally functional.
