Science Fair Proposal

1. The Pendulum system is better for moving a performer from point A to point B, compared to the Fixed Track System.
2. Dependent Variable: Time taken to reach point B / Accuracy upon reaching B
Independent Variable: Weight / Shape of "Performer"
Control Variable: Length between point A and B
3. My EQ: What is the best way to get a job in theatre?
You need experience with backstage technology if you plan to get a job as part of a stage crew. That means knowing the mechanics of any equipment used during performances.
4. I plan on building scale models of both the Fixed Track and Pendulum fly systems. I will then test both using different sized "Performer" representations.
5. My experiment will most likely fall under the 'Physics' category.
