Robert+Hooke

Robert Hooke lived from 1635 to 1703. He was born in the in the town of Freshwater, England on July 18, 1635. During his childhood he was educated by his father. He studied a lot of art as a child, but he also started to invent things. When he was 13 he attended Westminster School. After attending Westminster School he went to Oxford. || (cork cells) || One major accomplishment was when he actually observed cells in a cork. He made the discovery of plant cells and what the one who named it a “cell”. He lead the way for people to start to look at smaller things like organic cells. He published a book called Micrographia and stated his discovery along with over thoughts about lights being waves. It was because of this that Newton and Hooke developed a bad relationship. Hooke believed that other scientists stole his work even though they just looked deeper into Hooke's discoveries. Robert Hooke used a compound light microscope when he studied cells. || Hooke did a lot other than look at cells and other organisms. He observed that Jupiter rotate on its axis. He observed comets and started to ask questions about them. He also created a conical pendulum along with a Gregorian reflecting telescope. He was a brilliant thinker and studied many fields of science. Other scientist built on Hooke's ideas because he never really went deeper into it Robert Hooke was the man who studied cells and determined they were the basis unit of life. The compound microscope he made allowed him to get a much closer look to the cell. It is similar to how you can pinch the screen of a photo on a phone to get a much closer look. || (compound microscope) Work Cited: [] [] [] [] ||
