I find it hard to believe that the school built a faraday cage for this experiment :)

  Relevance? You, plants and animals don't live in a Faraday cage, so this would distort the results. But I agree that if they were not school children, but grown up, then they should do the same test but additionally try it again using a faraday cage.

    It wouldn't "distort" the results. It would enable you to get results at all. The number of likely uncontrolled results in this "experiment" means that it was worthless for anything other than getting children excited about science.

      As said I agree that an "additional" test with a faraday cage should have been done, but not by the children. I expect the scientists to come up with that idea. Having too high expectations from children is counterproductive.
