The work presented is the result of the application of a class plan adopting the investigative methodology and having as theoretical reference the Meaningful Learning on the Electrochemistry theme, having as main focus "batteries and batteries". For this, a problem question was elaborated, from which the students should engage in the solution by reflecting, analyzing, manipulating the objects, working the variables, interpreting, elaborating and testing the data and hypotheses, in order to reach the final result. The teacher's role in this activity was to mediate the entire investigative process, interfering minimally. Students' prior knowledge was surveyed to certify the existence of subsumers and reinforce concepts indispensable to the student to participate in the application of the investigative activity.
