Abstract

These notes on modern cosmology were made with high school teachers and students in mind. Taking into account the lack of availability of time and classes that many teachers have nowadays in Brazil, often caused by having to comply with very extensive subject curricula, performing various extra-class tasks and the tribulations inherent in the daily lives of all As workers in this country, we seek to develop basic topics and essentials about modern cosmology for your learning and consultation. We believe that, using it, you will be very well prepared to bring this very important theme of nature to the classroom. A differential of this didactic material is that each chapter has practical activities that allow us to fix the concepts of cosmology.
