1861-Pasteur demonstrates that microorganisms present in the air can contaminate solutions that appear germ-free.

1862-Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation which is the theory that living organisms develop from nonliving matter.

1862- Pasteur invented a process where bacteria could be removed from liquid by heating and then cooling it.  This process is known as pasteurization.

1863-Casimir Joseph Davaine reported the transmission of anthrax by the injection of healthy sheep with the blood of animals dying of the disease and the finding of microscopic rod-shaped bodies in the blood of both groups of sheep.  However, Davaine did not know about the spores of bacteria that could cause anthrax

 1864- Pasteur went on to study where the bacteria growing in food and drinks were coming from, and he finally figured out it came from the air or environment.

1875-1876- Robert Koch hypothesized that spores, without the bacteria present, could cause anthrax

1876- Robert Koch proves that bacteria can cause diseases. 

1876-Robert Koch  discovered and invented agar, and that different kinds of microbes cause different kinds of diseases.

What vaccinations can medical professionals create with this knowledge? 
2. How can we use this theory to help save those who contract the diseases through germs?
3. Does anyone have immunity to germs based on this theory?

People thought many different things, such as you obtained a disease as a punishment due to one's evil behavior,  foul odors, or even poisonous vapors. Once we came to research and prove that bacteria is what causes diseases, these things that people had believed, changed.

A teacher could teach this by explaining to their students how important it is to wash their hands. There are germs and bacteria on our hands and even though they do not appear dirty they still need to be washed to help get rid of the growing germs and bacteria. During this time period, people did not think about bacteria and/or diseases coming from unpreserved food for example.

In addition, he proved that when things interact with the air and are unsealed they can grow germs and bacteria that can lead to diseases.  The idea of if something appears clean or is washed or boiled does not mean it does not contain germs and/or bacteria. In addition, during this time period people learned that even though a certain object or substance is boiled and is "rid of germs" does not mean those germs cannot grow back. In this time period the public discovered that germs and bacteria can cause diseases.

(What did they think/know at the beginning and what did they think/know at the end of this time period?) gaby_auza https://padlet.com/abimarie04/g0lr41dueehq484o/wish/914402714 The people that once believed that foul odors could create disease or that “evil spirits” could cause a person to become ill, did not take seriously that Louis Pasteur made discoveries to describe how small organisms called germs could invade the body and cause disease. Society received it as a joke since it was not one of his most important discoveries and turned into political cartoons in a comic newspaper during its time. Eventually, out of fear people started to believe it and took precaution since it was published in serious political newspapers in the 1880's.
