- Materials:
Nerf Gun, Nerf Bullets, 2 meter sticks, two people, Tape, Protractor

- Methods (Include a plan for analyzing the data):
One person holds the Nerf gun, facing forward, away from your body. Before shooting each shot, collect the nerf dart of the previous shot, and put it in the front of the nerf gun. Have one person, stand a few feet away next to you, to watch where the dart first hits the ground. Place a piece of tape, and measure from the starting point, (where your feet are) to the piece of tape, where the dart first landed. 1. Holding the gun one and meters off the ground, pull the trigger facing zero degrees, by using your protractor sitting on top of the yard stick. 2. Shoot one more time, from 25 degrees, using your protractor again. 3. Shoot again, from 45 degrees, using your protractor. 4. Shoot from, 70 degrees, using your protractor. 5. Shoot one last time, from 90 degrees, using your protractor. Shoot at each angle 3 times, and find the average.

Take your averages, and form a graph in microsoft excel.
