  1. The objects slowly begin to get larger as they continue, about half have projections while half do not, some are multi colored while some have only one color, some are hollow while others are solid. This is a group of objects with a variety of characteristics but at the same time at least one or more object shares the same characteristic with another object ~ nikki kordomenos

  2. The objects are evolving. Not only are they growing in size, they are also developing appendages. As the objects evolve, they become multicolored, while the first few objects are only one color. -Sydnee V

    1. The colored part is true, except for when towards the end there is a ball that's just one color.

  3. Every object starts to change in different ways. The first is size. In the beginning, the objects are small but as the line progresses, they start to increase in size. Next, is in color and appendages. The first few are dark, only 1 color, and doesn't have any attachments. But as you start going down the row, each objects' color gets brighter, there starts to be more colors within the object, and more attachments are being added. But besides this, most of the objects have their own unique characteristics.

  5. From left to right, these objects evolve. They start with the simplest, merely a plain, black ball. As you move to the right, the objects grow in size, the number of colors, and the numbers of appendages. First the ball grows, eventually changing color, then growing tentacles. These tentacles change into different types of appendages. Finally, you have the highest evolved object, the caterpillar with eyes, antennae, and legs. The reasoning for the pink object being left out could possibly be because, though it has eyes, it is still a single color. This would make its location in the order hard to determine.

  6. The objects in this picture and gradually growing in size and then slowly decreasing. Also, they begin to have more and more appendages as the row grows, and grow loss ball shaped.The colors are very dull at the beginning, but then begin to flourish. It seems that after each ball, the one after is maturing and has even more details about itself. Finally, the caterpillar has all of these details put together to wrap up the chain since it is colorful and has appendages. Clearly, most objects have very unique and "special" traits of their own to be different from the rest.

  7. As you move on the object go from very simple plain object as a small black ball to a complicated object with many colors many circles and my appendages

  8. The objects start of simple and small but gradually grow in size then stop and remain about the same size. The objects also gain complexity going to the right but then become less complex and more spherical towards the end.

  9. In the picture, the objets do not only grow in size from left to right, but they evolve. Starting on the left, the small black ball has nothing special. It has only a single color and no appendages. The ball is a simple item. As the objects move right they evolve. the last item is a caterpillar. It has eyes, legs, and even antennas. When the object move from left to right, they clearly evolve. - Matt Epstein

  10. In this "trend" the objects are getting larger, more projections are coming off the core of the object, and are becoming more spherical, but neer the end the objects are more oddly shaped. JAcob Ludwig

  11. The objects in the picture start out small, dark, and basic. But they start to grow in size and become more vivid. The object on the other end is bright and diverse in color, has attachments, and is very complex.

  12. The trend in these objects changes left to right. First, the first objects are mainly continuos spheres then the change starts. Secondly, the middle objects gain appendages and have different color. Thirdly, the next group has smaller appendages/spikes. After that the appendages start to shrink again. So, the last group is mainly the same besides color. They also have rubber appendages like an enlarged bacteria! -Dan N Mod 7

  13. The objects get more complicated, with more appendages and colors as you go from left to right. The pink one in the back doesn't have THAT much in common with the ones in the line. It is also quite hard to clarify all of the trends considering we are just looking at a picture.

  14. Starting left and going right, the objects are evolving. It starts off with a small black ball and then eventually protrusions are added along with multiple colors and more complex parts.The green and pink objects with the stringy protrusions are followed by a similar object yet with wooden balls attached on the ends. Then it hits the object with springs and becomes more complex. Following that is objects that have batteries which are more modern and show that the process of evolution is ongoing and always exists.

  15. The objects in this picture start from being very simplistic to being more and more complex. For example, the object on the very left is just a small, black ball. As you move to the right however, the objects start increasing in size, the number of colors, and the number of projections. The most "evolved" object seems to be a multicolored caterpillar- a vast difference from the small, black ball.

  16. As the objects go from left to right, the simplicity of each object is lost in some way. As they progress, the object becomes more and more complex. Some of the changes are based upon size, for the objects for the most part get increasingly larger as they move from the left to the right. Secondly, the coloring of each object becomes more and more diverse, with the exception of the green ball towards the end, so color may not be the main reason the objects are organized in this order. Also, as they progress it appears that more appendages appear on each object and it's hard to tell just from a picture but perhaps some mechanics are being added as we reach the right side of the image, like lights for example. Though it is hard to make a definite observation of why they are organized in this order, it is clear there are some observations we can make that can at least assist us in figuring out their organization.

  17. As the item goes from left to right, it becomes more complex and shows how evolution works. It starts with protrusions being added on while the color varies and the size becoming bigger. The pink one in the corner is showing how there was a mutation from the green one because they both only have one color. The pink one is different in both size and shape, but keeps the rubber protrusions.

  18. In this trend, the objects evolve.They start out very simple and slowly transform into more complex things. In this case, the first item was a black, fairly simple, round ball. It then started becoming more complex with more additions added onto it such as appendages. At the end, it evolves into a caterpillar. This represents the idea of evolution.

  19. The objects are evolving. They begin simple, one color, no appendages. The objects get more complicated, evolving. They become more colorful and get appendages. Eventually they even get specialized appendages such as legs and antennas. Objects farther to the right can even light up. -Aida Berg

  20. The objects are lined up by their features. Each item "evolves" and changes minimally to become the next item. All the items that are next to each other have similar traits.

  21. The objects evolve from a simple solid colored ball to an abstract multicolored object with appendages. Also, they can be placed by size or just color. But, color is subjective so the one that everyone can agree on is size-Emily Hudson

  22. Going from left to right, each item gets more and more complicated. The first ball is extremely simple: it is only one color, has no appendages,and has no lights. Moving on to the next few objects, we see that they increase in size. Also, the third object appears multicolored (unless it is just the glare). Proceeding those are items with many apendages that become more colorful and "wild". The items continue to evolve until the last object, which is one of the most complex objects out of all of them.

  23. The objects in this picture begin to evolve from left to right. They start out very simple with no limbs or color. Gradually the objects grow bigger, acquire appendages, and become multi colored. Towards the end the objects also have batteries in them (knowledge from observations in class). The last object is very complex and has legs and eyes. Altogether, this picture exemplifies the evolution from one object to the next.

  24. From left to ride the objects increase in size and the amount of characteristics per that object. The beginning object is only one color and one solid surface with no bumps, dents or any other types of these characteristics. Then the second item changes and becomes more complex. It is the same color but with a new different shape. It continually grows larger until you start to observe characteristics such as appendages and limbs coming off of the multicolored objects. Size would be the main characteristic of all these figures because it is objective and easier to determine whether the figure falls under that category or not.

  25. The objects are evolving starting from the left and going right. The objects start off very simple. They are single colored and not very complex. Then as you look to the right the objects start getting more complex and gaining more color. We see a gain of appendages and lights. The size of the objects also increase. These objects continue to evolve and gain new features until it reaches the object all the way on the right. This object is the farthest evolved out of all the objects. -Eric Pushman

  26. with every object that is presented, it begins to an evolutionary trend from left to right. As you can see the first object is a simple black color whereas the last object is complex with more vibrant colors and appendages. However, when the object with the plain green and many appendages in the center splits off towards the pink object, its a branch of a different evolutionary track. It also is missing an object between the green center and the pink branch objects.

  27. The trend is evolution. As the objects progress from left to right so does the complexity of them. First it starts out with a small single colored ball; then it grows an appendage. Eventually, it begins to grow more appendages and become multicolored (or contain batteries to help it light up). In the end it evolves into a relatively large multicolored caterpillar with multiple appendages.

  28. From left to right, the objects evolve in their complexity, starting as just a small single colored sphere to a multicolored animal-like object with new appendages such as limbs, eyes, and antennae. Slowly we begin to see each characteristic develop, first color, then appendages such as limbs, to the ability to light up, then finally eyes and antennae. The object at the top does not belong because although it has eyes which would lead us to conclude it would be towards the end of the evolution line, it does not light up, making us conclude it would be towards the beginning, which most likely means that object evolved in a different way than the rest.

  29. Beginning from the left it seems the objects seem to obtain one color and are smaller. As it goes on the objects seem to be more complex, with things such as appendages,color,materials,shapes,size,etc. It also could be that they were grouped but were put in a row.

  30. The objects grow more complex from left to right. The first object on the left is the simplest object of them all; it is a monochromatic sphere without appendages. The next object, though also monochromatic, clearly has an appendage protruding from one side. The next objects are more complex, with varying colors and various appendages. After the stretchy green disk with hair-like protrusions, we see an evolutionary break (evidenced by the pink object). The pink object does not really have a place in the evolution of these objects. Quite possibly, the pink object could have stemmed from a monochromatic object of the same material with one eye (since the pink object has two eyes, as seen in class). Going past this evolutionary break, the objects grow more complicated. They grow increasingly multicolored and consist of many different materials.

  31. The objects are evolving from left to right. The line starts out with the simplest object and down the line, the objects gain additional features such as more colors, appendages, and batteries to allow to objects to light up(an observation made in class).

  32. The objects become more advanced from left to right. At first the objects are only one-colored and do not have many characteristics. As you move along the objects gain appendages, are multi-colored, and are able to light up.

  33. Going left to right, the objects are progressively increasing in size and becoming more complex in shape. It begins with simple spheres and then the objects have protrusions. Next, the objects are complicated spheres with protrusions and finally ending the trend with a large creature made up of multiple spheres with hair-like projections and limbs. Each object shares at least one trait with every other object so that they can be reordered depending on the characteristic(s) in question.

  34. The objects to the far left are simpler than anywhere else, having one colour and lacking appendages. In the center the objects have large projections and are multicoloured. And on the far right the objects are more diverse and they are multicoloured, but their appendages (if any) are rather little.

  35. As they objects start out on the left they are much more basic then the ones on the right. They start out small and with no projectiles. They also start with one color and they begin to become multi-colored.

  36. The objects in the picture are changing and evolving from left to right, starting with the small black ball. From this simple black ball, based on size and shape, the objects change. They not only grow in size from left to right but they also change in color and by the number of protrusions sprouting from them. Towards the end the objects have multiple spikes on them and are multicolored for the most part. Not every change is perfect or exactly how it's supposed to evolve, but that just goes to show that nothing is perfect and there will always be exceptions. Growing in size, developing more colors, and multiplying the number of protrusions are just examples of the types of changes that occurred in this picture. Not every change was the same type of change, but they were all a change nonetheless.

  37. As aforementioned by a number of similarly insightful physics students, the trend(s) largely evident in this line-up/muster of balls seems to be an evolutionary, growing and sprouting type of trend or change(s). Beginning on the far left, and evolving with movement to the right, the simplest, humdrum black ball gradually increases in size (as represented by the objects to its right, which are largely and more complex than the initial black ball). Personally, I feel the black ball with a peg underneath it (object 2) should be after objects 3 and 4, as it has a protrusion, whilst objects 3 and 4 do not. If that were the case, then the evolution would continue from left to right, as the "things" would sprout appendages, acquire more colours, and procure the ability to light up/function with batteries. Generally speaking, from left to right, the balls get projections, differing/more colours, and a lighting-up ability...

  38. The objects in this order continue to get more complex. The first object is a smiple single-colored sphere. As the objects progress, iteams start to gain a more complex forms, more colors, and specialized apedages (such as the eyes, legs, and antenni).

    ReplyDelete
  39. From left to right the objects begin to grow more complex. They start off becoming more complex with size then comes the color change followed by a variety of protrusions. The pink object that lay out in front of the others correlates with the green one in front of it but there is a missing object that we have yet to find. That missing object is the missing link between the two. The order in which these objects are placed are arguable as are most things when being categorized.

  40. In general, as the things go from left to right they become more complex in structure and color. It begins as a simple, solid color, spherical ball, and then ends with a multicolored, multipart, caterpillar with small hair like appendages and legs. The objects also grow in size as we go down the line. Objects next to each other tend to have similar characteristics, almost as if they are evolving.

  42. From left to right, the objects placed on the table are becoming more complex in both shape and color. The changes become more settle toward the middle to the end, but from the beginning to the middle, the difference is obvious. The change is based off of physical appearance and different appendages. Also it seams that every object in the line has some sort of sphere basis in the right conditions. The pink object by itself does not have that same characteristic.

  43. from left to right, the objects get increasingly more complex. extremities are added, attachments form at the ends of these extremities, color is added, and a mixture of any of the previous appears until the evolution resolves with a multi-colored, multi-extremitied-, multiple attachment caterpillar

  44. In this picture, the objects are shown to evolve. Notice how simple the black ball on the left appears. As you shift your focus further and further to the right, objects are seen to have more limbs and more colors. That is because they are evolving to have many more characteristics. Just like humans, you can imagine these balls adapting to their environments, growing appendages with specific functions, related to ultimate survival in the environment they live in. The pink object with many limbs is out of the line, which represents an evolutionary branch. In life, you can relate this to the spot where monkeys and humans broke apart. We are said to hold the same common ancestors and have many similar traits. At one point, we were one in the same. Now, there are many apparent differences between us. These balls, although synthetic material, are an expression of a "tree" of evolution, with the addition of a branch.

  45. The objects seem to be progressively be changing in different ways. First, the objects increase in size. Later, they change form, color, and start having projections.

  47. The objects in this picture are arranged in terms of size, color, material, and look. The object that I think should go between the green squishy object and the pink squishy object is a medium size solid color stringy squishy thing.
