Bean+passes

1. How does the number of beans being passed change as your finger combinations change? The number goes lower as the finger combinations go to UR3 to UR4, because the fingers that we mostly used together had a high rate of bean passes and less chance of bean drops. 2.What are some conclusions you develop from looking at this data? I conclude from this data that the more fingers we use in daily life is more likely to be more stable than the other finger combinations that we generally do not use. For example we use UR1 and UR2 to hold a pencil and that got a high average of bean passes but not so much for number of bean passes with UR3 and UR4 because most of us don't generally use those finger combinations everyday. 3. What might 2 or 3 sources of error that occured during this experiment? Some errors that occured during this experiment was the switching of the fingers and the dropping of the bean. For example when we had to do the passes of the bean from UR2 to UR3 some people switched UR2 to UR1 and not even realize that they did because it felt more natural. Also when we did UR3 to UR4 many people dropped it and had to start it from 0 because we commonnly do not use those fingers and the position felt akward so many people dropped it and had to start again from 0. 4. How does this lab demonstrate "Adaptations"? This lab demonstrates "Adaptations" because the word adapt mean to change so you have upper advantage in the situation and humans adapted to earth by getting oppasable thumbs. We use our thumbs to open stuff, to eat stuff, and to pick up stuff to. This lab shows us how humans have had one way to adapt to earth and getting oppsable thumbs is just one of the adaptation we have. For example lions do have fingers but we do so we can hold a rifle to shoot the lion but the lion's adaptation is to jump on the prey ( which in this case is us) by its paws and claws. The paws and claws are the lions adaptation to their environment to survive.
