Abstract
This paper aims to report a process of teaching the concepts of atomic models based on Historical-Critical Pedagogy, guiding the debate of atomic invisibility through the social practice of the invisibility of genocide of black people in Brazilian society. Here the central theme starts with the notion of invisibility. When discussing this concept in the classroom, we do so in the social sphere, deepening the debate on the invisibility of the black genocide in Brazil, as well as on the material scope, discussing the constitution of matter and focusing on the issue of atomic models. This work is configured in an experience report in the 1st year of High School of a public school in Salvador - Bahia. We developed a didactic sequence that was developed in the classroom and recorded through filming and field notebook. We note that students experience many pains in relation to the black deaths in Brazil, and that although the atoms are invisible, they are sure that this chemical is real, even without understanding their scientific models.
