Newton, Cavendish, ... now Quach

As part of the grade 11 Dynamics Unit, Steven Quach created a replica of the Cavendish experiment for determining the universal gravitational constant in which Henry Cavendish (1731-1810), an English physicist, experimentally determined the constant, G, more than a century after Newton predicted it mathematically. This individual student project was not part of the culminating activity or the final exam (worth 30% of their overall mark).

Steven was the first one to present, setting the bar high!
Way to go Steven!
