Resumo: This paper presents research referring to History of Science in Brazilian school books. Particularly, our goal was to contribute to the understanding of the way elements related to the process of historical construction of the concept of atmospheric pressure appear in school books. This work discusses specifically the results from the analyses accomplished according to the following criteria: historiographical concerns, Brazilian educational documents, primary and secondary sources in History of Science related to the development of the concept of atmospheric pressure.  Some problems were noticed such as anachronism, pseudohistory, näive views regarding Nature of Science, the absence of explanations supported by past thinker and a (totally) decontextualized approach to Torricelli’s experiment.

Esse trabalho apresenta uma pesquisa direcionada à avaliação crítica da História da Ciência presente em livros didáticos brasileiros. Particularmente, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi contribuir para a compreensão de como os elementos relacionados ao processo de construção histórica do conceito de pressão atmosférica aparecem nos livros didáticos. São discutidos especificamente os resultados da análise realizada de acordo com os seguintes critérios: fundamentos historiográficos atuais; apontamentos da legislação educacional para a inserção didática da História da Ciência, fontes primárias e secundárias da História da Ciência relacionadas ao desenvolvimento do conceito de pressão atmosférica.  Dentre os problemas notados destacam-se o anacronismo, a pseudohistória, visões simplistas sobre a ciência, a ausência de explicações sustentadas por pensadores do passado e uma abordagem (totalmente) descontextualizada do experimento de Torricelli.
