Innovative teaching strategies are fundamental in today's teaching-learning process, and these methodologies need to be present in the classroom. In biology teaching, dealing with eukaryotic cells, it is common for students to lack abstraction.

This text seeks to present the use of innovative teaching strategies in the cytology teaching-learning process. Therefore, we can see the teacher's need to make the classroom more dynamic, even in the face of the lack of adequate infrastructure, which sometimes occurs, it is possible with few resources to offer a meaningful and valuable lesson, enabling students to acquire autonomy over their own teaching-learning process.
