New Species in our Environment
Invasive Species
More and more animal and plant species successfully spread far away from their original homes. They are organisms that with our assistance – or even alone – are disseminated further and further across the globe: they are called invasive species. This flamboyantly pink coloured bird is mostly known from zoos or television: the flamingo is unmistakable. Its arcuate bill works like a sieve. With its help flamingos filter tiny algae and crawfish from the water. Flamingos are common in America and Asia. In Europe they have settled down in the Mediterranean area. But not only there – for about 40 years there have been flamingos living in the wild also in Germany! As they are new here, flamingos are considered a so-called invasive species.

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.
