What constitutes “proof” of a theory?

There is a simple experiment I can do at home to prove that gravity is a fact. I can drop a pencil, and it will fall to the floor. No matter how many times I do this, the pencil falls, every time. I have “proven” the theory of gravity (and I thought it was the “Law of Gravity”).
Is there a similar experiment I can do at home to prove evolution? For instance, does anyone know the procedure for evolving my grandson’s brine shrimp into the cute little “sea monkeys” pictured on the label of the kit he bought? Seriously, he is quite disappointed…
I’d really like to see something a bit more convincing than some bacteria adapting to vaccines, or fruit flies that have been genetically altered in a laboratory. The finches were cool, but they’re still finches, and they can still mate with their normal-beaked family.
If someone could show me how to get those shrimp to evolve, not only would they impress me enough to make a believe out of me, they would also be making a little boy happy…

Has anyone out there had Brine Shrimp as a pet?

In my science class we are doing an experiment with Brine Shrimp. When we finish I want to take some home…………………..I was wondering……How big do they get? What would you feed them?Where would you keep them? If you have a website where I can find out great, but I would prefer you telling me. Thanks for your time!!!

water contaminant experiment?

I would like to do an experiment testing the hatching rate of brine shrimp eggs in various concentrations of water contaminants. I need to use solutions which can be easily obtained and that are existent in the natural environment. Any ideas?

is this real??

is this actually happening? or are we all brains in a jar ,experiencing virtual reality for an experiment by some freaky alien-creatures…OH! or maybe were just a toy for some other life force,”grow your own creatures,like sea monkeys r something^_^ what do ye think?
“reefer” what do you mean get of the reefer,i dont even know what that is
^_^

Why are brine shrimp attracted to light?

..I am doing an experiment, and I have trouble finding why, other than the fact that they are “phototropic”..or is that it?
