In this theoretical article examining teaching practice, we want to focus on the historical development of acid-base theories (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis) to analyse the steps to follow to design sequences of activities for different NoS approaches. We examine conventional teaching approaches to the topic and its consequences in terms of students' alternative conceptions and their difficulties to transfer and apply knowledge and to recognize acid-base models' limits of applicability. The science education literature is replete with examples of the consequences for students' learning of this typical way of teaching acid-base content focused on the definition of its concepts and with two or three theories introduced simultaneously. ./cache/cord-318562-jif88gof.txt ./txt/cord-318562-jif88gof.txt
