    1) Dr. Eijkman investigated why beriberi disease was affecting people in the Dutch East Indies. Originally, scientists hypothesized that the disease was caused by bacteria. However, Dr. Eijkman designed a new experiment where he found that chickens fed polished rice, which lacked thiamine, got sick, while those fed whole grain rice did not. 2) Fleming investigated a clear area that formed around a mold growing in some of his Staphylococcus culture dishes, where the bacteria had died. He hypothesized that the mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria. Testing showed that a broth solution where the mold had grown killed bacteria in another culture, supporting his hypothesis. 3

    The passages discuss two scientific investigations - one into beriberi by Dr. Eijkman and one into penicillin by Sir Alexander Fleming.

    Dr. Eijkman investigated what caused beriberi.

    Fleming hypothesized that the mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria.

    Activity 1

    I. Complete the following statements.


    Activity 2

    Scientific Method In Action

    I. Answer the following question based on the scenarios given

    A. The Strange Case of BeriBeri

    In 1887 a strange nerve disease attacked the people in the Dutch East Indies. The disease was
    beriberi. Symptoms of the disease included weakness and loss of appetite, victims often died of heart
    failure. Scientists thought the disease might be caused by bacteria. They injected chickens with
    bacteria from the blood of patients with beriberi. The injected chickens became sick. However, so did
    a group of chickens that were not injected with bacteria.

    One of the scientists, Dr. Eijkman, designed a new experiment based on his own observations.
    Before the experiment, all the chickens had eaten whole-grain rice, but during the experiment, the
    chickens were fed polished rice. Dr. Eijkman researched this interesting case and found that polished
    rice lacked thiamine, a vitamin necessary for good health.

    1. State the question or problem that Dr. Eijkman investigated.


    2. What was the original hypothesis?
    3. What was the manipulated (independent) variable and the ressponding (dependent) variable?
    4. Write a statement that summarizes the results of the experiment.
    5. How would Dr. Eijkman test his new hypothesis?

    B. How Penicillin Was Discovered

    In 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming was studying Staphylococcus bacteria growing in culture dishes. He
    noticed that a mold called Penicillium was also growing in some of the dishes. A clear area existed
    around the mold because all the bacteria that had grown in this area had died. In the culture dishes
    without the mold, no clear areas were present.

    Fleming hypothesized that the mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria. He
    decided to isolate this substance and test it to see if it would kill bacteria. Fleming transferred the
    mold to a nutrient broth solution. This solution contained all the materials the mold needed to grow.
    After the mold grew, he removed it from the nutrient broth and then added the broth to a culture of
    bacteria. He observed that the bacteria in the culture died. Fleming's experiments were later used to
    develop antibiotics.

    6. State the question or problem that Fleming investigated.


    7. What was Fleming's hypothesis?
    8. How was the hypothesis tested?
    9. Write a statement that summarizes the results of the experiment.
    10. This experiment lead to the development of what major medical advancement?
