Johanna,

This tool at NetMechanic might also help:

http://www.netmechanic.com/toolbox/html-code.htm

When you get your results, look at the Load Time Report. That shows an
estimated download time for your page, and the total byte size for each
object, including images, applets, etc.

This is a free sample, and would probably do the job for a class. Hope
this helps you.
