fransesco Redi
Francesco Redi never married. He dedicated much of his life to his scientific work and did not have a family of his own.
Redi started to plan an experiment without more observation and more diffirent stuff
The manipulated variable in Redi's experiment was the gauze lid he put on the jar.
it was the first experiment that followed the scientific method
Redi's experiment proved that maggots did not spontaneously generate from decaying meat, contradicting the popular belief of spontaneous generation at the time.
Redi's experiment proved that maggots do not spontaneously generate from decaying meat, but rather come from the eggs of flies. This refuted the prevailing theory of spontaneous generation.
Redi showed the need to limit/control outside variables when he covered 1/2 the jars and got different results than the uncovered.
Adult flies from entering the jar.
The presence of living organisms in the meat jars was not a controlled variable in Redi's experiment on spontaneous generation. This variable was dependent on the conditions set by Redi, rather than being controlled by him.
Redi used Meat and Jars and the guaze was important becasue it was covering the flies away form the meat.
Francesco Redi found out in his experiment of were maggots came from that they came from flies and not dead meat.(1668)
