Abstract
The study of the photoelectric effect should be introduced at pre-university levels in several countries. Teaching quantum phenomena is neither easy nor intuitive and its difficulty is related to the way the brain learns and creates new patterns. This article proposes a first approach to the phenomenon, starting from a movie scene and the Socratic class, thus offering a didactic tool to apply to pre-university students. In this pre-post study it is shown that there is a remarcable improvement (p < 0.00) in the students comprehension of this effect.
