 * 1) How does the number of beans being passed change as your finger combination's 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 being passed changes as your finger combinations changes because your fingers aren't used to moving and/or grabbing the way your fingers are grabbing. You are used to grabbing something with your thumb and your index finger most of the time. You usually aren't going to grab something with your pinky and your ring finger. Thats the reason you take a longer time passing the bean.

2. Some conclusions you can develop from looking at this data is that its much harder to use other finger combination's as you move on with the list. When you use UR1 and UR2 you will have much faster rate then using UR2 and UR5 be cause when you go to pick up something you don't go and pick it up with your index finger and your pinky finger. You would must likely pick it up with your thumb and your index finger. Also as you go down the list most of the time the averages got smaller, expect for the last one.

3. A few source of error that might have occurred during this experiment are grabbing the bean with the wrong finger combination. Instead of using UR2 and UR5 you might of used UR1 and UR2 because you are more used to using those fingers. Another source of error would be dropping the bean and having to start counting from the beginning .Another error could be miss counting. For example you might count seconds instead of bean passes. When we worked on it the first, when Jonathan said it wouldn't count as a trial because you need to use the same pace as you pass the bean. So, Kendra, Imani, and I were counting by seconds. Another error would be starting earlier or later than others.

4. This lab demonstrates "adaptation" because first of all adaptation means change. And in this project we had to change the way we grab something (in this case a bean). We a adapted or adjusted ourselves into doing something differently then we usually do.
