Is fire a living thing?
Robert Hooke
• Observed cork under a microscope• Called the little boxes cells
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
• Examined blood, rain water, teeth scrapings• Found tiny animal-like things• Led to better microscopes
Other Scientists
• The discoveries of Hooke and van Leeuwenhoek led to better tools and other discoveries about cells.
M. Schleiden T. Schwann R. Virchow(Botanist) (Zoologist) (Pathologist)
Cell Theory
• All living thing are made of cells• Cells carry out the functions needed to
support life• Cells come from other living cells
Scientific Theory – widely accepted explanation of things in nature. It must be supported by evidence.
Louis Pasteur
• Noticed milk that soured contained many bacteria
• He invented a process that killed the bacteria and allowed the milk to last longer
• He wondered if bacteria were responsible for the illnesses in people and animals.
Louis Pasteur
• He noticed by studying air, water and soil that bacteria were everywhere (germs)
• He realized that by understanding germs we could prevent disease• His work led to vaccines
Spontaneous Generation
• Life could come from nonliving things
• Pasteur showed in a series of experiments that spontaneous generation can not occur
• He supported cell theory
Redi’s Experiment
• Shows that the presence of maggots was not spontaneous but a result of fly offspring
Pasteur’s Experiment
• Showed that bacteria was in the air and did not spontaneously generate.
