Inside the Faraday cage: the hidden signs

Abstract

This work presents a didactic sequence focused on understanding the phenomenon of charge distribution in metallic conductive materials, using the Faraday Cage as the main tool. Designed for ninth to eleventh-grade students, the sequence includes activities such as exploring key questions, constructing a Faraday Cage, and a practical experience followed by a playful assessment. Implemented in an academic event, the results showed that the majority of students achieved a deeper understanding of the topic, highlighting the effectiveness of this approach in the science classroom.
