This work describes a strategy for teaching the history of science that contrasts different types of historical resources, including pieces of pseudohistory, with primary and secondary sources. This approach provides lessons and stimulates attitudes that are very difficult to overcome using other tactics. Notably, one of the aims of this method is to teach the students how to distinguish a well-grounded historical narrative from an unreliable one and to develop a critical attitude concerning the flawed stories that proliferate on the internet and in popular science books. Besides describing the general procedure used at a Brazilian university, the paper presents its exemplification in the study of Hans Christian Ørsted’s discovery of electromagnetism.
