| Summary: | It is the presentation of some results achieved in a larger investigative process and aims to contribute to the teaching of sciences, specifically organic chemistry, starting with the introduction of the Generating Themes and active methodologies in Basic Education classes. The research aims to analyze the results of the application of two active methodologies - JigSaw (Puzzles and conceptual Maps) in the classes of oxygenated organic functions from the context with the Generator Theme: ‘Medicinal plants as a form of natural medicine’. Eighteen 3rd grade students from a state school in the city of Alagoa Grande, interior of Paraíba, participated in this investigation in 2019. In this qualitative research, the theme 'Medicinal Plants' was chosen to begin the knowledge trail, as a collection of data used participant observation and activities developed during the application of active methodologies: JigSaw and mind maps. After data collection, it was possible to observe, as a result, that the intervention and the application of innovative methodologies favored the learning process and the active participation of the class in chemistry classes. Consequently, the scientific and curricular development was satisfactory as well as the development of the students' argumentation and interaction, making clear the importance of innovative classes that develop not only the curricular knowledge but also the social face of the students.
