Abstract
Analogies are among the most used tools in teaching, they are used to explain knowledge that is difficult to understand, and they facilitate the process of learning new concepts. Learning on the basis of something familiar. This work uses the method called "teaching with analogies" to propose an analogy between the subject of chemical bonding and couple relationships. The six operations of the method are analyzed and the teaching activities necessary for the implementation of the analogy in the teaching learning process are determined. The generated analogy relates ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds with man-woman, woman-woman and man-man couples, respectively. In order to explain the stability of the different chemical bonds, a relationship is established between sharing, losing, and gaining electrons with the negotiations that exist within a couple. Analogies facilitate the recall of information and its contextualization, allow the construction of knowledge, as well the easy visualization of abstract theoretical concepts, therefore, they contribute to the student having meaningful learning.
