I have taught Cosmology since 1998 and, in 2006, I was invited to teach The Solar System chapter.

Following my hobby as a guitar player, I prepared a text about the Physics of Music and presented it in some Meetings in Physics Education in Brazil. The text can be found here.
Interesting papers
Some of them I really enjoyed, some others I wrote myself...
The material used for the presentation about the relation between astrology and science can be found here. There is also a number of good papers in English in this link.
