I presume you are saying this because you don't know how to use Access yourself.
The idea of creating a working relational database with functional front-end in Excel would make me want to stick forks through my eyes.
Out of interest what are the outcomes and objectives?
The high school I was at last year used an online learning environment called 'Dida'(sp?), which required the kids to use Access to create their application. Whilst also teaching them what Databases are, modeling the relationships and consideration to the type and length of fields amongst other things.
