Bizarre but True…..

Life came to be…or so it was thought. Jan Baptista van Helmont’s recipe for mice:

• Place a dirty shirt or some rags in an open pot or barrel containing a few grains of wheat or some wheat bran, and in 21 days, mice will appear.

Bizarre but True…..

Life came to be…or so it was thought. Recipe for bees:

• Kill a young bull, and bury it in an upright position so that its horns protrude from the ground. After a month, a swarm of bees will fly out of the corpse.

Starting to make sense...

The First Real experiment!• Really…they think it was

In 1668, Francesco Redi, an Italian physician, did an experiment with flies and wide-mouth jars containing meat.

Starting to make sense...

The First Real experiment!• Observation: There are flies around meat carcasses at

the butcher shop.

• Question: Where do the flies come from? Does rotting meat turn into or produce the flies?

• Hypothesis: Rotten meat does not turn into flies. Only flies can make more flies.

• Prediction: If meat cannot turn into flies, rotting meat in a sealed (fly-proof) container should not produce flies or maggots.

Starting to make sense...

The First Real experiment!• Testing: Wide-mouth jars each containing a piece of meat

were subjected to several variations of “openness” while all other variables were kept the same.control group — These jars of meat were set out without lids so the meat would be exposed to whatever it might be in the butcher shop.experimental group(s) — One group of jars were sealed with lids, and another group of jars had gauze placed over them.replication — Several jars were included in each group.

Starting to make sense...

The First Real experiment!• Data: Presence or absence of flies and maggots

observed in each jar was recorded. In the control group of jars, flies were seen entering the jars. Later, maggots, then more flies were seen on the meat. In the gauze-covered jars, no flies were seen in the jars, but were observed around and on the gauze, and later a few maggots were seen on the meat. In the sealed jars, no maggots or flies were ever seen on the meat.

Starting to make sense...

The First Real experiment!• Conclusion(s): Only flies can make more flies. In the

uncovered jars, flies entered and laid eggs on the meat. Maggots hatched from these eggs and grew into more adult flies. Adult flies laid eggs on the gauze on the gauze-covered jars. These eggs or the maggots from them dropped through the gauze onto the meat. In the sealed jars, no flies, maggots, nor eggs could enter, thus none were seen in those jars. Maggots arose only where flies were able to lay eggs. This experiment disproved the idea of spontaneous generation for larger organisms.

Spontaneous Generation

Nothing but useless sniveling gibberish concocted to quell the onslaught of perplexing questions that overload the ignorant mind.

Spontaneous Generation: Non-living objects give rise to living organisms.

• like worms, beetles, frogs, and salamanders come from dust, mud, etc.

Now………The origins of life.

What do you think the early earth was like?When do you guess life might have started?What was it like?

– CD

Page 11: Loose ends n’ stuff. Welcome back to school! Bwah Ha Ha Ha

In Reality……..

Scientist think life started about 3.6 billion years ago.

Page 12: Loose ends n’ stuff. Welcome back to school! Bwah Ha Ha Ha

Think Back…...

The early earth’s atmosphere was most likely composed of Nitrogen, Water Vapor, Carbon Dioxide, and Methane. Could you survive? Assuming you didn’t get toasted by a volcano,

what very important gas is missing from the above mix.

Are all the rest still out there?– CD

In 1953...

Harlod Urey and Stanley Miller designed an experiment where they recreated an early Earth environment in a flask with water.

They then shocked it to simulate lightning.Within a week, they had the pre-cursors of

proteins…the building blocks of life.

From 1953 on...

Scientist now hypothesize that small chemical units of life formed gradually over millions of years in Earth’s waters.

The hypothesis is consistent with evidence recorded in fossils.

The oldest known fossils, in fact, are cyanobacteria from rocks of western Australia, dated 3.5 billion years old.
