Fluids and Viscosity
Liquids and their Properties
Be it the honey on our breakfast toast, the water from the tap or the air surrounding us – they all have one thing in common: in a physical sense they are fluids. That means: if you expose these substances to shear forces, their molecules are shifted against each other and the substance deforms continuously. With honey the shearing force of the knife on the one hand, and the resistance of the rough surface of the bread on the other, lead to this deformation – the honey is easy to spread. Fluids react to even slight force application. The deformation rate increases proportionally to the amount of shear stress. Therefore water flows faster from a plastic bottle when it is compressed more strongly. Physically speaking: the stronger the force, the faster the fluid is deformed. A solid, in contrast, offers a greater resistance to shear forces. Tension is built up inside it until eventually, above a certain threshold, deformation occurs – the stick breaks. But a solid can become a fluid if it changes its state of aggregation and melts. So the ice cube is no fluid, its melt water, however, is. It is easily deformed. It is almost the same with solid and molten steel. Thus temperature plays an important role in the behaviour of fluids.

Mobile Learning II
Oh, what’s that? Original soundtrack Thissen: “As our children grow up in a media world and naturally handle the media, they should also be a topic in school.“ An older child says the point is that they don’t just load down apps but create things themselves that haven’t existed so far. Hi, I’m Jana. A propeller hat. I’ll put it on. Now I’m no longer a simple rhino, but a flying rhino. Original soundtrack Thissen: “It’s exactly the great flexibility of tablets that promotes very personalised and adapted learning.” Original soundtrack Welzel: “It’s fascinating to see how the children grow with their products and how they always want to improve them.” The Westminster Abbey is a church in London for the royal family. Original soundtrack Welzel: “And?“ They think it is ok.
Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
