This work presents the electricity topic from a Physics course for Biological and Health Science students in High School. These students believe that Physics is not relevant to their future career or professional life. They consider themselves incapable of succeeding in the subject unless they learn by heart a lot of mathematical formulas and use them in the exam. In this way, we exposed the relation between Physics and Biological and Health Science, showing them the Electricity involved in biological phenomena. It has been observed how student’s attitudes change depending on the examples and contexts used in class.
