Patty,
I think the Cavendish apparatus might be just a bit out of your school's
range. Have you ever seen the "Einstein Relativity Demonstrator"? It is
made from a coffee can and soap bubbles and gives a great view of Einstein's
model of the space/time fabric. I can send you a link for quick directions
on how to make it.
