Bean+Passing+Reflection


 * 1) How does the number of beans being passed change as your finger combinations change?
 * 2)  – What are some conclusions you can develop from looking at this data?
 * 3)  – What might 2 or 3 sources of error that occurred during this experiment?
 * 4) HOW DOES THIS LAB DEMONSTRATE “ADAPTATIONS”?

The number of been passing changes as the finger combination changes. That is because one of the were more easier. The person felt more comfortable passing the bean with a certain finger combination. Perhaps they became used to picking up an object with a certain finger combination. As shown in the graph the finger combination that was the most difficult was UR2-UR5.

Some conclusions you can develop from tooking at the data is which finger combination to pass the bean was easier and which was the hardest. According to the chart the majority of the groups passed the bean more using finger combinations, UR1 and UR5. The most difficult finger combination was UR2 and UR5. Personally for me the most easiest was UR1 and UR2. The hardest finger combination for me was UR2 and UR5.

Some errors that might have occured in this experiment it that while people were passing the bean they might have dropped it and continued on from there instead of starting all over. That could have really effected the whole average in total.

This lab demonstrates adaptation because it shows how opposable thumbs helped animals survive longer. Having opposable thumbs helped the animals grab food or many other things more easily. If there only one bananna and two monkeys the one with a thumb would probably get it quicker than the other monkey. This helped the animals live for a longer period of time unlike the animals who do not have thumbs.
