The goal of the fundamental education in China is to concern about students' all-round development with individualism and to foster their qualifications. In such teaching, for one thing, students'subjective position should be set right; for another, teachers' leading role be put to full play. It requires teachers to place value on the achievement of the three-dimension teaching aim—physics for example—concern of students'acquisition of knowledge, care of their acquisition process and method, and finding out their emotional experience in physics classes.Since the reform of physics was made all over the country, the finding-out teaching mode has been widely put into practice. The author finds by investigation that some problems are still lying with the finding-out teaching of physics in middle schools. With further reflection and practice, the author thinks that different from general teaching, the finding-out teaching is characterized by the need for the direction of the latest education theory, demand for the studies of students' psychology and living conditions, request for careful selection of teaching design and teaching plan, and observance of teaching principle and steps in the performance of teaching plan, etc. The finding-out teaching activities should be open and initiative, and only in this way can students'qualifications be improved and the students' competences of finding questions and solving problems be cultivated.Presupposition is the prerequisite of a successful class. Based on the textbook, teachers presuppose some questions and situations to stimulate students'intrinsic motivation and interest and to have them conduct discussions on the question and decide what they want to find out and set the tasks as well. Obviously, a good teaching mode bridges the gap between theory and practice. The teaching mode designed according to the latest teaching notions helps students autonomously construct the framework of physics learning and improve their knowledge of physics. Certainly, generation is the core of such finding-out, so in class, apart from the fact that attention should be paid to "accidental generation," inspiration should be given to students to use scientific method to solve problems in order that students' qualifications and logical thinking competences could be improved.Taking the second-period reform of physics course as background, this paper introduces the fundamental theory for finding-out classes according to the course's features and analyzes middle school students'psychology in learning and living conditions on the one hand; it relates to the design of the finding-out class links and deals with the episodes in the teaching process with case studies on the other. At the end the paper presents the performance of steps and rules for finding-out activities by means of reflection.In short, teachers should fully play a leading role in a finding-out class and students'subjective position should as well be strengthened. In design, teachers need to think what situation presupposition, what teaching mode design and what sort of finding-out activities can help students achieve the three-dimension aim:knowledge and competence, process and method, and emotion and value.
