My science teacher brought it up last year, and I'd like to research it, but for my life I can't remember what the name of it was.
Basically, it's that all life on Earth formed from amino acids encased in a meteor that crashed on the planet.
..I think.

Although some call it Panspermia I would call it a fairy tale. It is just a desperate attempt to explain how life got started here on earth without invoking God or the Bible.
Take a bunch of Scrabble tiles. Then shake them up and toss them on the board. What are the odds of you spelling LIFE? Pretty slim. Then you would have to spell words like FOOD, HOME, WIFE (maybe), and CHANGE. There is no chance of life by chance.
I am sure I will get some heat from this, but mention this to your science teacher and ask him/her how it can be done. Then ask him if he won the state lootery (misspelled intentionally) ten times in a row. Federal agents would come banging on his door because nobody is that lucky.

Try "exogenesis" or "panspermia."
