Mammals I
Vertebrates 5
When we talk about animals in everyday conversation, we mostly talk about mammals. Mammals live in water, on land and in the air. Countless species of the most diverse sizes and appearances populate our earth. A clear classification is not always possible because of their adaptation to their different habitats. DVD 1: Mammals 1 The first DVD begins with describing the characteristics of mammals, their reproduction and development as well as the regulation of their body temperature. The film illustrates features they have in common, but also looks into the huge differences within the class of mammals. DVD 2: Mammals 2 The second DVD first focuses on the different ways of searching for food and digesting it. Then differences in the brain and sense organs are outlined. The last part looks into the homology of mammals whose basic body structure is unvarying despite their adaptation to the most diverse habitats.

Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
