Joe,
  I have used the Gravity program with students and have
developed an activity.  If you are interested I could
send it.  The program does give simulated planetary data
that could be used to verify Kepler's 2nd.
 It also illustrates a system sensitive to initial conditions.
I set up the three body problem on it and the paths are
very different for different choices for the delta t used for
the time between calculations.
