B. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new
lesson
Direction: Answer the following question
1. What is science? Science is a systematized body
of knowledge.
Good!
Science is systematized
because it uses a step-by-step
2. Why is Science systematize? process called scientific
method.
Good job!

The 2 Main branch of science

are Social science and
Natural Science.

3. What are the 2 main branches of science?

Very good!

Motivation
What can you say about the phrase being shown to
you?
“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the For me, the phrase talks
shoulders of giants”. about how much you will
accomplish if you have
- Sir Isaac Newton supportive people
Ok! Great Job!
After our discussion, we will see whether you will
have the same interpretation about the phrase.
C. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
So for today, we will have a discussion about the
historical development of the concept of life.

After this lesson, you should be able to do the

following:

 cite the different scientists that

contributes to the development of the
concept of life
 explain the contribution of different
scientists to the evolving concept of
life
 Recognize the importance of studying
the historical development of life
D. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson
For you, what is life? (The learners will answer the
question according to their
Very good! All of you are correct, we all have our beliefs and experience)
own definition for the word Life. But according
to science, Life is defined as a system capable of
performing functions such as, eating, metabolizing,
excreting, breathing, moving, growing, reproducing,
and responding to stimuli.

But before we have these understanding about life,

there have been numerous scientist that tries to
answer on how life came from. And their studies
and investigations have significantly contributed to
our knowledge about the concepts of life.

Are you familiar with the picture? Yes, he is Aristotle.

Yes, very good, He is the famous philosopher

Aristotle, and he is known as the Father of biology
because of his contribution to the study of life.
What do we study in biology? Biology is the study of life.

Ok!

Biology comes from the 2 greek word “Bios” that

means life and “Logia” that means the study of.

Biology is a branch of natural science that deals

with everything that has life and their processes,
how they eat, reproduce, metabolize and other
characteristics of life.

He made significant contributions for biology that is

why most scientists considers him the father of
biology. Among his notable contributions is the
proposition that life originated from non-living
matter, a concept commonly referred to as the
theory of spontaneous generation.

What does spontaneous means? Sudden

Excellent!

When we say spontaneous it means sudden, thus

Spontaneous generation theory means sudden
emergence of life from non-living matter.

He believed the idea that life could emerge

from non-living matter, basing their beliefs on
their
observation, such as the spontaneous generation of
flies when meat is left unattended, or rats arose
from dirty places, making him one of the earliest
person to explore the concept of life.
No, because life can only be
Do you believe that life can emerge from non-living created with another life.
organisms? Why?
Because flies are scavengers
Then why do you think maggots arises from leftover and are attracted to the meat.
meat?

Great answer! Now let’s move on to our next

scientist
How about this picture? Are you familiar with him? Robert Hooke

Very good, he is none other than Robert Hooke,

He is also known as the father of Cytology – the
study of cell because he is the one who first coined
term cell in his book titled Micrographia.

Are you familiar with the cork on the wine bottles?

Yes, it is a cap/seal made from
wood.
If it is made up of wood, what kind of cells does it
Plant cells
have?

Very good!
Those are the reason why he called it cell, because
he is using his compound microscope to study the
cork and what he saw is the cell like structure of
the cork, thus, naming it cell

How about this one, can anyone recognize him?

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
That’s right, Very good! He is the father of
microbiology and microscopy – Antonie van
Leeuwenhoek. He is one of the first person to study
living microorganisms, and he named them
Animalcules – meaning “Little animals”.

Do you have any question/s so far? None!

Take note that although Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

is the father of Microscopy, the invention of the
first compound microscope is credited to glass
maker Hans and Zacharias Janssen in 1590s.

Now, let’s let’s go to some of the other famous

scientists that helps to our understanding about the
origin of life.

As a student, would you believe something that you

No, because we need to
only hear or read? Why?
confirm or do research to know
whether the source are
credible or not.
Very good! And that’s what scientist do, they test
the theories whether it is true or not through
experimentation.

Many scientists try to prove and disprove the

spontaneous theory. And the Italian physician
Francesco Redi is one of the first to refute the idea
of the spontaneous generation theory. According
to his experiment, maggots cannot generate
spontaneously on meat if the meat is sealed.
But because many scientists believe in the
spontaneous generation theory, they try their own
experiment to prove their theory, and one of those
is John Needham, his experiments include boiling a
broth infused with plant or animal matter hoping
to kill existing live microbes, then sealing the flasks.
After a few days, the flasks became cloudy and
according to his observation, a single drop
contained numerous microscopic creatures.

Question, why does his

Any question? experiment prove the
spontaneous generation
theory?

Good question
According to some historians and scientist, he may
done some error during his experiments that is why
molds arises from his flasks. And that will lead us to
our next scientist who uses the characteristic of
experiments which is repetitiveness.

Though the data collected by John Needham is

based on experiment. Another scientist did not
agree with his conclusion. This scientist is Lazzaro
Spallanzani, he then recreates Needham’s
experiment numerous times but his results always
contradict the findings of Needham. Thus,
disproving spontaneous generation theory.
 While Spallanzani's experiments were exceptional,
many still holds their beliefs to the spontaneous
generation theory. It wasn't until a renowned
scientist decisively debunked this notion that the
final blow was dealt to the theory.

He is the scientist who invented the pasteurization

process on wine and milk – Louis Pasteur.

He conclusively disproves the theory of

spontaneous generation with his famous swan-
neck flask experiment in 1859.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills

#1
Direction: Explain the contribution of each scientist
in the concept of life provided below.

1. Aristotle One of the earliest recorded

scholars to articulate the
theory of spontaneous
generation.
 2. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek First to witness live
microorganisms.

3. Francesco Redi First to dispute the

spontaneous generation
theory.

4. Lazzaro Spallanzani Rejected the conclusion of

Needham by repeating the
same experiment numerous
time disproving
spontaneous generation
theory.
5. Louis Pasteur Conclusively disprove the
spontaneous generation
theory with his swan-neck
flasks
experiment.
F. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills
#2
Do you have any question? None

Why do you think we need to study the To understand our past.

development of concept of life as perceived by
scientists? To know about our
understanding on the concept
of life today.

Great job! Exploring the historical development of

the concept of life not only provides insights into
our present understanding but also serves as a
foundation for refining and advancing our current
comprehension of this concept.

Do you think that ongoing scientific exploration will Yes! because we are
continue to unveil new discoveries, enhancing our continuously developing and
understanding of the concept of life? Why? maybe in the future, we will
have the technology to know
how life came from.
 Excellent! as we continue to progress and develop,
our understanding regarding the concept of life
will also advance.

G. Developing mastery
Direction: Write true if the statement is true and if
it is false, change the underlined word/s to make
the sentence correct.
