A textual proposal to face problems related to the history of the atom in chemistry teaching

Abstract

This paper outlines an overview of the history of chemistry in Brazilian education and the problems that arise in relation to the context of atomism. As a possible contribution to this issue, we present the general characteristics of a text that seeks to make a historical rescue of the atom, linked to Bachelardian referential and its evaluation by a group of experts, which showed the potentialities and limitations of the text.
