Pasteur
proved his theory by placing
sterile
water
in a
sealed
flask and then placing
sterile
water
in an
open
flask.
This
proved
that there were
germs
in
the
air
which caused
disease.
The
closed
flask stayed
sterile
But the open flask
bred
germs.
By
heating
liquid, it killed the
germs.
He proved this by
placing liquid in a
swan neck
flask. The
air
could not get to
the liquid, but it could if the
neck
was
broken.
This
proved
germs
caused
decay.
