This study was developed with the aim of discussing the demand for communicability between history of science and content in the construction of the Chemistry curriculum, under the epistemology of Gaston Bachelard. From a descriptive methodological point of view, this research begins with a discussion about the relationship between Bachelard's philosophy and the history of science as a tool for historical contextualization of scientific knowledge constructed over time, as well as what is expected with the use of this when inserted into a teaching context. The discussion is followed by a debate about what a student should expect from the teaching of Chemistry from this point of view, using Bachelard's epistemological ideas as well as others. Thus, it is expected that this study will broaden the discussions about possibilities of using the history of Chemistry within specific contexts of science teaching.
