Interactive Physics can be obtained bundled with the Interactive Physics
Workbook which contains a large of collection of lab exercises and
accompanying questions. This offers some advantages in that the students
purchase the software (a limited form only) with the book. The software
they get however doesn't allow them (or you) to build their own
simulations. It is "cross-referenced" to several common textbooks including
Giancoli, Halliday et al and Cutnell/Johnson.

The Workbook is sold by Prentice Hall (Author Schwartz) and available in
both Mac and Windows editions.

Friends and neighbors,
I have been re-enlisted to teach Physics at a 2-year tech college. There
are no lab facilities. We have extensive computer holdings in relatively
large rooms with servers available. I am prposing to set up a virtual lab
utilizing the computer facilities. I'd like to set up about 13 experiments
for the semester. Any clues on available software, reliable resellers,
experiences by others in this situation, or even words of support and
consolation will be most gratefully accepted.
Thus far I am looking at Pintarmedia and Interactive Physics.
