Sumario:In this work, we present and discuss the conditions for the use of experimentation by high school Physics teachers. The identifi-cation of these conditions was carried out by conducting an interview with Physics teachers from Basic Education Schools of the State Public School Network in a Brazilian municipality in the State of São Paulo. As a result of reading and interpreting the information collected, we developed categories of analysis related to the objectives for the use of experiments and the justifica-tions for not using them or for the low frequency use of experiments in Physics classes. Through the analyzes carried out, we can point out the following conditions for the use of experiments: (1) the motivating character of the experiment; (2) availability of time linked to the requirement to comply with guidelines established by a higher authority; (3) infrastructure in schools for the development of experiments, with good physical conditions and use; (4) characteristics of student groups; (5) training of teach-ers to use experiments.
