Nicholas Natale, Kyle Guzman, Conor O?Callahan, Paul Febles Physics H- Curran 3/26/14 Hypothesis: The two darts will hit the ground at the same time because gravity is the factor affecting them, and gravity is constant. Dart Experiment Procedure Materials: 2 Nerf Dart guns 2 Darts (one weighted with metal beads) Metal Beads Camera Procedure: We will test the reaction time of the guns when the trigger is pulled to make sure that they are uniform. (This will be tested 3 times) We will shoot the darts from a balcony at the same height and two people will be below the drop site. One person will shoot both guns so they will be fired almost at the same time. We will rotate who shoots the guns in order to make sure person shooting has little to no effect on results.

These costumes have been very thought out and have great meaning behind them, so please make note of what each character wears and what scene they wear it in. Caesar: For Caesar, I?ve designed an orange toga with strips of red drapery and a gold cuff bracelet. The red signifies power and ruthlessness while the orange represents his tragic flow, his over confidence. This outfit will be used when the crowd is praising and coaxing Caesar to take the ?crown? so MAKE SURE his cuff is gold, because it represents his success. Cassius:
