Over the last few decades, methodologies and strategies have been proposed for the teaching of quantum mechanics. This is because it has generated a cognitive revolution insofar as it offers a new view of the world. This is one of the reasons why it is important to teach it and at the same time it allows to delve deeper into the difficulties that the students face when appropriating the concepts on which it is based as they are: the notion of state and the principle of superposition. In this sense, a phenomenological approach is proposed as a tool for teaching quantum mechanics. In this context, experimental activities are developed, which are the strategy to involve the students in building explanations about the phenomenon. The experimental activity is understood as that which allows the student to reflect on the phenomenon in order to explain it. This approach favors the development of a physical thought since the student involves skills and ways of proceeding, ways of thinking and ways of constructing and reconstructing arguments to explain the phenomenon under consideration. This way of proposing the teaching of quantum mechanics overcomes the dichotomy between experiment and theory since from this approach the experiment is considered as a constituent part for the construction of explanations about the phenomenon.
