The aim of our paper is to find out if systematically using hands-on activities in order to realize different practical devices contributes and develops pupils´ transfer skills such as: communication, interpersonal skills, planning and problem solving as well as using TIC and media, respectively inquiry and data operating. The target group consists of 51 teachers with rich experience in hands´ on activities used in order to realize different practical devices. The inquiry was done by means of a questionnaire based on the list of transfer skills. Results obtained shows that, as teachers answered, hands-on activities provide, on the top of developed skills, planning and problem solving activities, followed by inquiry and data operating and handling abilities. Reduced presence of communication, interpersonal skills, respectively ICT suggest the need for rethinking the context for this kind of activities by promoting team work and cooperative learning as well as team documentation activities that might improve the state of the art above mentioned.
