In 1668, an Italian biologist, Francesco Redi, did experiments to prove that maggots did
not come from meat. One of his experiments is shown below.

Redi placed pieces of meat in several jars. He divided the jars into two groups. He
covered the first group of jars with fine cloth. He left the second group of jars uncovered.
Redi observed the jars for several days. He saw flies on the cloth of the covered jars,
and he saw flies laying eggs on the meat in the uncovered jars. Maggots appeared only
on the meat in the group of jars left uncovered.
1. What was the problem in Redi’s experiment?
①How do maggots appear in meats?
②How do worms appear in wood?
③Is spontaneous generation a valid explanation for maggots in meats?
④All of the above are examples of problems
2. How did he test his hypothesis?
① He placed meat in two jars and covered both jars.
② He put meat in one jar and no food in a second jar.
③He placed meat in two jars and left both jars uncovered.
④He placed meat in two jars, covering one jar and leaving the other uncovered.
3. What do you think Redi’s conclusion was?
①Living things come from other living things.
② Living things come from non-living things.
③ He did not have enough data to arrive at a conclusion.
