Bean+Passing+Reflection

====1. How does the number of beans being passed change as your finger combinations change? ==== ====In my chart it actually has a pattern. The pattern is that the first column is high and the second is low then the third is high and it keeps going until we are on the sixth column. In the fifth column it drops completely it goes from a 56.4 to a 22.8. All the columns number are close to each except for the fifth one ( UR2-UR5). I believe that the the numbers are what the numbers are because it matters on how easy it is to use a specific combination. For example, UR1-UR2 are easy to use when passing a bean so maybe that is why it is the second biggest number. Another example, is UR1-UR5. They are also easy to use because those two are easy to grab things and pass things too. That is why it affect the number of times the bean was passed. ====

====2. What are some conclusions you can develop from looking at this data? ==== One conclusion is when having thumbs, you are benefitted. For example, you can hold things, grab things, tie your hair, open doors, etc. If you or someone was thumbless it would be hard to succeed in what you are trying to do.

====3. What might 2 or 3 sources of error that occurred during this experiment? ====  One error that may have occurred is the constant rate of time. Sometimes we would slow down after a few passes. Another error that could occured is that sometimes while passing some people might use the wrong finger combinations. Another error that may occur is that when you drop the the bean you may forget to restart conting.

4. HOW DOES THIS LAB DEMONSTRATE “ADAPTATIONS”? ﻿The lab helped demonstrate "adaptations" is by using opposable thumbs, as a example. Without using thumbs we won't be able to get through things fastly and easily. Humans and monkies have thumbs and without it- it would be hard to adapt to a regular life, just like no thumbless animals won't be able to adapt to a regular life with a thumb.
