2 Reflection Prompt: Write 3 things that you are planning to do during Spring Break.

3 Gradualism vs Punctuated Equilibria
Gradualism: The theory that evolution occurs slowly by steadily Punctuated Equilibria:Evolution occurs during short periods of rapid change separated by long periods of little or no change
