The difference between specialized scientific speech regarding with the research and the didactic speech directed to the teaching and learning, supports the importance of language and literature within the process of teaching and public communication of science. In such context, Cordel Literature, due to its simple and attractive language, seems to show some potential for popularization and public communication of science. In this study we aimed to investigate whether, from the string Cordel Literature, we extract texts with potential for popularization and public communication of science, with particular interest for Physical Science. At that sense, it has been done a documentary research at Cordel Literature collection in the Átila Almeida Library of the Universidade Estadual da Paraíba with the identification and cataloging of cordels which topics approached some issues related to Science. After cataloging, the cordels have been separated by areas of coverage in order to facilitate analysis of those that approached themes of Physics. This research may be considered of qualitative nature with quantitative approaches in which for the analytical description, according to the procedures of the content of messages, it has been utilized the methodology of Thematic-Categorical Content Analysis. Through this research it was possible to identify many cordels that deal with themes of Physics. We believe that material may be used as a link of relationship between science and art, and may be adopted by teachers as support material, before, during and after the classes.
