Jan Baptist van Helmont,  | He thought he could create mice with wheat and soiled clothes. Coined the term "gas". Showed that tree mass comes from water. |
Robert Hooke - 1665,  | He was the first person to see biological cells, and was the first to use the word 'cell' to describe them. He studied springs too. |
Francesco Redi - 1668,  | Showed that maggots come from eggs of flies. |
Antonie Phillips van Leeuwenhoek - 1674,  | First to see microorganisms (bacteria, protozoa, sperm cells) |
Edward Jenner - 1796,  | Used cowpox (vaccinia) to inoculate a child against smallpox. Unethical? |
Ignaz Semmelweis - 1847,  | He proved that hand washing prevented the spread of disease. |
John Snow - 1854,  | He proved that cholera was caused by drinking water that was tainted with human waste. |

Jonas Salk - 1955,  | He created a safe Polio vaccine. |
Bacteria,  | The smallest, living, unicellular life form on Earth. They live in colonies and reproduce every 20 minutes. |
Virus,  | Very, very small. Lifeless particles that cause disease. They use cells to reproduce. |
Tuberculosis,  | Robert Koch identified this bacteria. Infects lungs and causes death. Vampires are not real. |
Antibiotics,  | These medicines attack bacteria. Penicillin comes from orange mold. |
Cholera,  | Bacterial disease caused by drinking water tainted with sewage. Diarrhea and death. |
Influenza,  | Airborne viral disease that affects respiratory system. It kills 36,000 americans each year. |
Polio,  | Viral disease. Attacks nerves. Can result in paralysis. Can kill. |
