The development of Cell Theory
Lesson’s Objectives Department of Education

At the end of the lesson the learners

are expected to:
1. explain the cell theory;
2. create a timeline showing the historical
development of cell theory; and
3. apply the concept of cell theory in body
processes.
Engagement Activity Department of Education

Directions. Study the picture

carefully. Then, describe it by
answering the questions that
follows.

Activity “Thinking Visually” Department of Education

Directions. Read a short passage

below then complete the idea of
the concept map by filling out the
boxes with correct word/s. After
completing the concept map,
answer the guide question.

How Theory Develops?

As evidence from numerous investigations builds
up, a particular hypothesis may become so well
supported that scientists consider it a theory.
That is what happened with the hypothesis that
new organisms come from existing organisms.
This idea is now considered one of the major
ideas in science. In science, the word theory
applies to a well- tested explanation that unifies
a broad range of observations

The Discovery of Cell Department of Education

In 1665 an English Scientist, Robert

Hooke, discovered cells while
looking at a thin slice of cork. He
described the cells as tiny boxes or
a honeycomb and thought that
cells only existed in plants and
fungi. In the publication of his book
“Micrographia”, he coined the
term “cellulae” which was
shortened to “cell”.
The Discovery of Cell Department of Education

In 1673 Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, a

Dutch shopkeeper who had great
skill in crafting lenses used a
handmade microscope to observe
pond scum & discovered single-
celled organisms.
He called them “animalcules”. He
also observed blood cells from fish,
birds, frogs, dogs, and humans.
The Development of Cell Theory Department of Education

In 1838 a German Botanist,

Matthias Schleiden, concluded
that all plant parts are made of
cells.
A year after Theodor Schwann
German physiologist who was a
close friend of Schleiden, stated
that all animal tissues are
composed of cells.

In 1858 Rudolf Virchow,

German physician, after
extensive study of cellular
pathology, concluded that
cells must arise from
preexisting cells.

These findings were resulted to the proposition of

the Cell Theory which states that:
1. All organisms are composed of one or more cells.
2. The cell is the basic unit of life in all living things.
3. All cells are produced by the division of pre-
existing cells.

Activity 4 “Let’s Create a History”

Directions. Below are the events that
transpired in the development of cell theory.
Complete the timeline below by filling out the
box with the right event that happened
on the given year.

• Matthias Schleiden concluded that all plants are

made up of cells.
• Anton Van Leeuwenhoek observed tiny living
organisms in drops of pond water through his simple
microscope.
• Theodor Schwann concluded that all animals are
made up of cells.
• Robert Hooke published his book Micrographia
• Rudolf Virchow proposed that all cells came from
existing cells

“Connections” Department of Education

Directions. Below is a picture of how a wound heals over

time. Study the picture thoroughly, then, answer the
question below.
If you are to relate wound healing to one of the concepts of

cell theory, which statement would it be? Explain your
answer.
Activity “I Want More!” Department of Education
