Materials and Substances of Everyday Life
Properties and Behaviour
Hearing these words, you first think of the materials our clothing is made of. But all objects surrounding us in everyday life consist of one or several materials. They are objects that are made, for example, of metal, wood, rubber, plastic. In chemistry these objects are also called ‘solids‘. The materials solids consist of either occur in nature or have been newly created by people combining different substances. What materials are there? How can they be distinguished and classified? And how can we employ these materials with their specific properties usefully and advantageously?

Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
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.
