    Cell Theory Historical Timeline Activity: Questions To Answer

    Uploaded by

    Jiezel Castor
    The document provides instructions for an activity to create a timeline of scientists' contributions to cell theory between 1590-1855. Students are asked to create inventor cards with the name, date, and contribution of 6 scientists - Robert Hooke, Hans and Zacharias Janssen, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow. They then create a timeline showing the chronological discoveries that provided evidence for cell theory and the development of the microscope as an important tool.

    CELL THEORY HISTORICAL TIMELINE ACTIVITY

     List a few of the characteristics the following people have made to science
     List the Dates of the contributions that these people have made
     Robert Hooke:
     Hans & Zacharias Janssen:
     Anton van Leeuwenhoek:
     Matthias Schleiden:
     Theodor Schwann:
     Rudolph Virchow:

    Directions: Get a piece of paper and create a timeline that shows the contributions to the cell
    theory.
    Create a Timeline showing the chronological order of these scientists and their contributions.
    1) First put your information on Inventor Cards: date,names and what they did.
    2) create your timeline.
    3) Here is what should be on the Timeline -ALL 6 INVENTORS ARE ON THE TIMELINE
     Label the time line with dates of the Scientists - draw a color picture of their discoveries
    (from the inventor card)
     The earliest date should be on the left of the timeline and the most recent date should
    be on the right
     Label each date with corresponding scientist's name & contribution(s) in an organized
    and legible manner
     Be sure your spacing shows a reasonable approximation of the amount of time that
    elapsed between dates.
