After reading a number of previous responses I'd like to add some thoughts.
I agree that the Excel spreadsheet package is wonderful in may respects but
I believe students will be able to obtain more graphical information with
Graphical Analysis.  If you check with some of the July group from the
Physics Courseware Evaluation project at NC State you will find agreement
that Wings for Learning appears rather difficult to use (this is with
teachers, who knows what students will do with it).  I echo the praises for
the Physics Academic software packages(EM Fields, Electric Field Hockey, and
Spacetime) as well as Graphs and Tracks from Falcon Software.  An additional
package you may wish to consider for student use is Broderbund's Physics
program, it may help as a nice tutorial for students experiencing difficulty
in some areas.  Good luck with your project, I hope you understand that
there are an awful lot of jealous physics teachers responding to your
request!  If you can contaact a PTRA in your area, this summer's program
introduced some workshops using the materials you are planning to purchase.
Good luck in the coming school year!   Pat Callahan, Catasauqua High School, PA
