The objective of this study was to present the theoretical constructos of Michael Faraday about the electric nature of matter and its possible contribution to the Teaching of Science through the Contextual Approach. This research has provided us with elements that have resulted in categories that point to external influences in the production of scientific knowledge, mechanisms that theorize the constitution of matter and questions that allow us to establish a relation between the composition of matter and its relation with electricity. This research has provided us with elements that have resulted in categories that point to external influences on the production of scientific knowledge, mechanisms that theorize the constitution of matter and questions that allow us to establish a relationship between the composition of matter and its relation to electricity. Data analysis showed approximations between the ideas of the students and those of the scientist in conjunction with his contemporaries. Therefore, we believe in the relevance of the insertion of the Contextual Approach in the teaching of this topic, since it is possible to use these ideas to establish relations with the most varied conceptions of students, a process that favor the construction of more coherence of Science and the meaning and application of their theories.
