HYPOTHESIS
Reid's Hypothesis: Redi's wanted to know how come maggots appear on meat after flies were around? easy : they just laid such tiny eggs so people are not able to see them.

TEST
Now we need to test this hypothesis BY AN EXPERIMENT:
WE CAN ONLY CHANGE ONE THING (VARIABLE) DURING AN EXPERIMENT.
VARIABLE - THING THAT WE CAN CHANGE DURING AN EXPERIMENT.
CONTROLED EXPERIMENT - in this experiment we can only change one thing (variable) at a time.
MANIPULATED VARIABLE - thing that is changed on purpose.
(covers)
RESPONDING VARIABLE - thing that changes as a result of changes in the manipulated variable.
(maggots appear, maggots doesn't not appear)
CONTROLED VARIABLE - NEVER CHANGES
(meat, jars, location, T, time)
the idea of Spontaneous generation was refuted as a result of Redi's experiment.
ALL LIVING THINGS COME FROM
OTHER LIVING THINGS
if a hypothesis becomes very well supported , we can now consider a theory.
theory is very well tested explanation.
