Junge Erfinder
Eigene Ideen umsetzen
Erfindungen begleiten uns täglich. Viele dieser revolutionären Erfindungen nehmen wir gar nicht mehr wahr in unserem Alltag. Doch ohne sie müssten wir in dunklen Höhlen sitzen und zu Fuß die Welt erkunden. Erfindungen haben uns und unser Umfeld nachhaltig verändert. Doch was macht eine neue Idee eigentlich zur Erfindung? Und wodurch zeichnet sich ein wahrer Erfinder aus? Der Film geht dieser Frage nach und sammelt die Eindrücke vieler junger Nachwuchs-Tüftler. Dabei geben diese uns einen Einblick in ihre Denkweise und jeweiligen Forschungsprojekte, mit denen sie auf Nachwuchswettbewerben wie „Jugend forscht“ um die Aufmerksamkeit und schließlich Unterstützung von Investoren buhlen. Das öffentliche Interesse an diesen Wettbewerben ist groß, wie nicht zuletzt die Bundes-ministerin für Bildung und Forschung, Prof. Dr. Johanna Wanka, betont. Im Anschluss befasst sich der Film mit der Markteinführung und dem Patentschutz neu entwickelter Erfindungen. Gemeinsam mit dem umfangreichen Unterrichtsmaterial (klassische und interaktive Arbeitsblätter, Testaufgaben, Lehrtexte etc.) ist der Film sehr gut für den Einsatz im Unterricht geeignet.

Peer Mediation
Lena and Max attend the 7th form. Max is new in class. During a break, Max notices that Lena and her friend are laughing at him again. Max loses his temper! He slaps Lena in the face. That hurts and Lena runs back into the classroom with a red cheek. The growing conflict between the two has escalated. Just like Lena and Max, every day pupils all over Germany have rows with each other. At the Heinrich Hertz Gymnasium in Thuringia, pupils have been trained as mediators for years. At set hours, they are in a room made available by the school specifically for mediation purposes. The film describes the growing conflict between Max and Lena and shows a mediation using their example. In doing so, the terms “conflict” and “peer mediation” are explained in a non-technical way. The aims of peer mediation and its progress in five steps as well as the mediators’ tasks are illustrated. The art of asking questions and “mirroring”, which the mediators must know, is described and explained. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is a suitable medium to introduce peer mediation at your school, too.
Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century. Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
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.
