Sumario:The scientific concepts related to the matter structure and the atomic models are difficult topics to be understood by students in Physics and Chemistry classes. This difficulty could be associated with the contents own abstraction and the way they are covered in school textbooks, which promote a fragmented and decontextualized learning that does not emphasize the circumstances and the questionings that led to the substitution of one model for another. Taking the previous issue into account, we designed and implemented a didactic unit that combines reading comprehension, experimentation and the use of simulations with students attending 3rd year in a preuniversity school in San Juan. In this article we present the most distinctive aspects of the proposal and the results of its implementation, which show significant achievements as regards the learning of the disciplinary content as well as motivation aspects related to the resources used and the tasks proposed.
