History and philosophy of science in science curricula: a proposal for its incorporation in science classes

In the last few years the necessity of including History and Philosophy of Science (HFC, hereafter) in Science Curricula has been emphasised. There have been important advances in theoretical frameworks, which should orient the incorporation of HFC into Science classes. However, there are only a few works that include proposals that show some ways of making this concrete. This work attempts to make a contribution in that direction, presenting a proposal for the treatment of a specific thematic nucleus of the curricular area "Physics-Chemistry". The proposal is designed for the first year of High School Education (with orientation in Humanities and Social Sciences). The selected content corresponds to the study of the evolution of atomic models (up to the model of Bohr).
