Zusammenfassung: | We present the second edition of the book `CosmoAmautas: Astrophysics in the
classroom' which is a text and activity book on selected topics in
astrophysics. The content is written in Spanish and intended as the
introductory literature and material for high school teachers who want to
integrate astronomy to their science and math classes. The book includes an
introduction to topics such as planetary science, stellar evolution,
exoplanets, galaxies, black holes, and cosmology. In addition to the astronomy
content, the book includes didactic notes on general physics of gravity and
light, unit conversion, history of science, and tools for the digital classroom
(ICT tools), which are compatible with the requirements of the Peruvian high
school curriculum. This book is constructed based on the astrophysics
curriculum and education model introduced in the online teacher-training
workshop CosmoAmautas, which took place in 2021 and 2022. CosmoAmautas (amauta
= teacher in the Quechua language) is an astronomy education project in Peru,
funded by the IAU Office of Astronomy for Development. For more information,
