Description
We have studied the viability of new theoretical models which combine a chemical evolution code, an evolutionary synthesis code and a photoionization code, to understand the star formation and evolution of H{\sc ii} galaxies. The emission lines observed in H{\sc ii} galaxies are reproduced by meas of the photoionization code CLOUDY, using as ionizing spectrum the spectral energy distribution of the modeled H{\sc ii} galaxy, which, in turn, is calculated according to a Star Formation History (SFH) and a metallicity evolution given by a chemical evolution model. Our technique reproduces the observed diagnostic diagrams and equivalent width-color correlations for local H{\sc ii} galaxies.
