CELL TIME LINE

Creating a Cell Time Line 1. Turn an 8 X 14 sheet of plain white paper on its side and draw a 12 horizontal line across the center of the paper. 2. On the left end () of the line write 1550 and on the right end () write 1950. 3. Make a mark EVERY THREE (3) INCHES along the line and label them as 1650, 1750, & 1850. 4. Mark the dates that appear at the bottom of the page (in the gray box) on your time line. Use brackets as shown for dates that extend over a number of years. 1050 1066-1492 1500

5. Identify the scientists above or below the date, and tell what they did. 6. Add pictures/diagrams and color to make it more interesting (and to get a better grade). Additional information and/or ideas can be found in the Glencoe Biology textbook (Chapter 7). 7. Put a title at the top and write your name on the back.

Important events in the study of cells & the development of the cell theory 1590 1660s-1720s 1665 1831 1838 1839 1858 1930s-40s Zacharius Janssen devised the first compound microscope. Anton van Leeuwenhoek described living cells as seen through the more than 300 simple microscopes he developed. Robert Hooke examined cork in tree bark and named the units he saw cells. Robert Brown discovered that plant cells had a special central part that he called the nucleus. Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plant tissues consist of organized masses of cells. Theodor Schwann concluded that all animal tissues consist of cells and proposed a cellular basis of all life. Rudolf Virchow generalized that cells can arise only from preexisting cells. Electron microscopes were first developed, which helped fill in the details of cell structure and function.
