OhmZone and Powerhouse are simulation programs. They are intended to help students visualize and test concepts that are introduced in Module 2: Electrical Phenomena of Physical Sciences 416/436. The software was distributed to schools on CD-ROM in 1998.

A team of teachers has developed a series of pedagogical scenarios for the use of OhmZone and Powerhouse with your students. There are two versions of most activities. The Teacher Guide versions include both the Activity Sheets and a Key. The Student versions include only the Activity Sheets. You will also find Classroom/Computer Management Tips.

NEW! OhmZone and PowerHouse have been updated to provide compatibility with the latest Adobe Shockwave plug-in. OhmZone and Powerhouse can be accessed on the web if you have the Adobe Shockwave Player installed on your browser. Click here to use OhmZone! Click here to use Powerhouse!

This software is the result of work by the English community to improve our students' results in Physical Sciences 416/436. It is presented by The Science Action Plan Committee (SAPCO) and is made possible through the support of the Science Coordinating Committee (SCC) and the Ministère de l'Éducation, Service à la commauté anglophone - Direction des politiques et des projets (SCA-DPP).

OhmZone and Powerhouse were designed and produced by The Article 19 Group Inc. (http://www.article19.com).
