Through all his studies and tests, he stuck to the scientific method of experimentation and observation. Hooke created some of the most up-to-date technologies and instruments in his abundances of projects and tests (biography). In the year 1660 Robert Hooke discovered and released Hooke’s Law, which says the tension force in a spring increases in direct proportion to the length it is stretched to. (Famous). It set the foundation for studies on strain and stress, and for understanding how elastic materials work and function (Learnodo). Robert Hooke’s most important publication was Micrographia, a 1665 book showing the experiments he had made with a microscope. In this extremely helpful book, he created the term "cell" while studying the structure of a cork. He also described and discussed feathers, snowflakes and flies, as well as discovered that fossils are parts of living things that are now dead (Biography). Robert Hooke studied the bark of a cork tree and studied its structure with a microscope. While doing so, he uncovered and named the cell, also known as the building block of life. When he found the cells, He
