Scientific theories must have testable predictions. Predictions are made based on observations and then experiments can be done to test the theoretical predictions. The experiments will either verify or falsify the predictions made. Here we are going to discuss the hypotheses of phyletic gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. The pattern of evolution can be described as happening gradually‚ over time‚ as in the hypothesis of phyletic gradualism or by punctuated equilibrium. In the theory of

I have used the scientific method in my case study to prove my hypothesis‚ if a plant is grown in light it will grow faster than a plant grown in the dark. To conduct my experiment‚ you will need lima beans‚ potting soil‚ and styrofoam cups. First‚ put three inches of potting soil into each styrofoam cup. Then plant the lima bean seed about one inch below the surface of the soil. Next add three tablespoons of water to each cup. Put one cup in a window seal or where there will be bright light. Place
