Hybrid Drives
Technology of the Future
When Lena goes through the city centre by car, she has to be particularly careful, because her car is almost inaudible and therefore pedestrians often hear it just in the nick of time. For in the city centre, her car is powered by electricity. The power is provided by a strong battery in the boot. But as soon as the destination is located far away, Lena switches to petrol operation. Then the car is powered by a normal combustion engine. The fuel comes from the tank – just like with all other cars. Depending upon when and where the car travels, it uses different engines and different types of energy in doing so. That is why the car is also called a hybrid vehicle. Hybrid means something like "mixed". This may also refer to an e-bike, which Lena has in her garage as well. It combines electric energy from the battery with energy from muscle power.

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.
