Abstract: At school, the Science/Biology Laboratory is a teaching and learning space that can be used to build the learning of scientific knowledge together with students. Thus, this study starts from the following question: how can the Science/Biology Laboratory be used in Science/Biology classes in Brazilian Elementary Education schools? Thus, this research aimed to understand how the Science/Biology Laboratory can be used in Biology teaching in Basic Education. To this end, a Systematic Literature Review was conducted using as descriptors the term laboratory and Biology teaching in databases such as the Portal de Periódicos Capes/MEC, the Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, and the annals of complete papers published in the Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa e Educação em Ciências and the annals of the Encontro Nacional de Ensino de Biologia from 2015 to 2020. The results indicate that the Science Laboratory/Biology can be used for the proposition of practical classes, whether experimental or not, of projects and didactic exhibitions, with introductory, integrated or complementary purposes. In addition, through classes in this space, scientific skills were developed, ranging from hypothesis proposition, data collection, analysis and recording, to communication of ideas. Thus, this research can contribute to the training of biology teachers by weaving possibilities in the use of the Science/Biology Laboratory in their teaching. Keywords: Teaching Biology.
