Practical work in the foreground is the process between men and nature in which we exchange material, substance with the nature and during that process we monitor the nature through our activities. Practical work could also be defined as an active relationship between men and nature. Using the method of practical work students have the opportunity to independently observe objects and appearances and to also perform different operations, procedures and experiments.
