This study aimed characterize the knowledge that manifest themselves in a kind of natural sciences. In light of the foregoing, we assume this investigation is under the approach to the qualitative approach, favoring the use of case studies as the most appropriate and natural for closer to the reality of teaching and his thinking (Sandin, 2003). In order to collect the information we use interactive and non-interactive methods (Goetz and LeCompte, 1988). As interactive method selects the interview, in the form of semi-structured interview and as a non-interactive method we use observation class, which followed the directions set by Quevedo (2005a). As the main finding, we highlight the identification of various skills, whichever is the experiential knowledge, both in teaching (organization and planning of the class) and in what discipline. Concluding that the teacher is a subject that epistemic being built from their knowledge that leads to the classroom. This involved construction elements of scientific knowledge, knowledge of the everyday curriculum, the school context, their beliefs and values.
