Bean+Passes

 * 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”?

1- The number of beans passes changes because the level of difficulty increases the less we use our thumbs. Ex. when we had to use UR2 and UR5 (index and pinkie finger) it was harder than using UR1 and UR 2 (index and thumb).

2- Some conclusions that I made from looking at this data is that most people can't pass something while not using their thumbs and if they can, it is really hard. I also saw that the first three trials the average was almost the same, and then the last three decreased by a lot.

3- Two or three sources of error that might have occurred during our experiment is that we might have not passed the bean at a constant rate and we might have switched to a different finger by accident because we are not used to not using our thumbs.

4-This lab demonstrates adaptions because we tried to adapt to NOT use our thumbs. The hardest way pass a bean using our pinkie and index finger and we were not used to doing something like that, and adaption is all about getting used to something.
