Bean Passing
 Slide 1   • 1) How does the number of beans being passed change as your finger combinations change?   In the first 3 trails (UR1-UR2, UR1-UR3 AND UR1-UR5) the numbers are almost the same, because your using your thumbs to grab things, witch means that you need your thumbs to make it easier to hold/grab things or objects. And towards the end the last 3 trials ( UR2-UR3, UR2-UR5, AND UR3-UR4) its kind of difficult to grab the bean because your not using your thumbs, so the numbers are lower. 2)What are some conclusions you can develop from looking at this data?  From looking at my data, the conclusions i could make are that using your thumbs makes it way easier when your holding things. For example in this case, when we were passing the beans to our partners it was very easy passing it using our thumbs. And in the last 3 trials it was harder because we didn't use our thumbs and so that's why the score was lower!    3)What might 2 or 3 sources of error that occurred during this experiment? The first source of error that occurred was that when we got to UR3-UR4 it was kind of hard to pass the bean because we weren't using our thumbs. The second error that happened was that when ever we drop the bean, we had TO START all over again. For example lets say you counted up to 70 and you drop your bean, you had to start all the was from the begging. 4)How does this lab demonstrate "ADAPTATIONS" This lab demonstrates adaption because when we were passing the bean to our partner, we were using our thumbs witch makes our lives easier. So that means we are adapted to using our thumbs for almost everything we hold, pass etc. And when we weren't using or thumbs it had our lives harder, because we aren't adapted to do things with out using our thumbs.
