Bean
The word bean refers to both the seeds and the pods surrounding them and often even the whole bean plant. It is not easy to get an overview of the different types of bean plants. Their variety is due to, among other things, their different origins.

Menstrual Cycle
It is a very special moment when you get your first period. And then we say: maybe this is worth a visit to the cinema for you and your parents or you go out for a meal together with your parents, without your siblings, or perhaps you have a little party or there is something special to eat, so don’t be shy. Dare to communicate this.

Birds
This DVD from the Vertebrates series comprehensively introduces birds by means of various examples of indigenous, tropical and polar bird species. Among other things, it provides information on typical bird characteristics such as skeleton and bone structure, structure and function of the beak and feathers as well as the principle of light-weightness. Impressive close-ups of prepared bird bones as well as of a feather’s vane serve to illustrate these aspects. The adaptability of birds to the environments of air, land and water as well as to different kinds of food are shown by means of the examples of typical representatives of the species such as eagle and falcon, emu, duck, moorhen and kingfisher. Here, the pupils also learn about the relation between diet and shape of beak. The reproduction and breeding of birds is illustrated with impressive outdoor pictures of courtship and nest-building with different bird species, the hatching of a chick, the raising of grey herons up to the squabs’ first attempts at flying. Furthermore, the menu includes additional pictures as well as a tabular list of the different breeding times of altricial and precocial birds. Thus, this DVD offers flexibility and variety in the classroom and is especially suited for interactive learning.

Evolution
Of all mammals existing today, the primates have the oldest phylogenetic tree. This film shows on the basis of extant species of the order of primates, which we humans also belong to, the phylogenetic tendencies in evolution from the treeshrew to prosimians, monkeys and apes to the genus homo. Special emphasis is laid on the visible outward characteristics of the skull and its sense organs, changes in the position of the spinal column as well as the development of extremities and their adaptation to various habitats. Changes in the anatomy of the skull, the development of the eye socket and also the shifting of the eyes from the sides to the front position, the dental structure and development of the jaw bones and the changing proportions of the mandible skeleton and the brain case are demonstrated on genuine skulls. The film analyses in detail the evolutionary tendencies of primates and convincingly answers the question on the origins of their development.

Blossoms
In impressive pictures several interesting biological topics are conveyed by this film: knowledge of the structure of blossoms, their variety of forms as well as significance and purpose of their colours and scents. Thus it becomes comprehensible why blossoms are so differently structured, how self pollination is avoided and which evolutionary achievement is behind the symbiotic interaction between blossoms and pollinators. Pollination is a “deal“: the plant offers the insects nectar in exchange for the transport of the pollen. Prerequisite for this is the mutual adaptation process of the blossom to the mouthparts of the insect and vice versa. That cheating goes on during this “business relationship” between plant and animal is illustrated with the example of flower mimesis. The perfect way in which blossoms succeed in attracting insects without offering them nectar in return is another highlight of this film. Together with the extensive accompanying material the DVD is perfectly suited for use in the classroom.

New Species in our Environment
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.

Neuronen
Was wir fühlen, wie wir reagieren, das wird gesteuert durch die Nervenbahnen unseres Gehirns. In dem Film wird das Nervensystem dargestellt und der Aufbau der einzelnen Nervenzellen erläutert. Welche Übertragungswege ein Reiz nimmt und auf welchen Wegen eine Reaktion ausgelöst wird, wird in anschaulichen Grafiken gezeigt.

Enzymes
Almost every biochemical reaction in living organisms is regulated and controlled by enzymes. Without enzymes we could not breathe, digest food and the hereditary information in our cells could not be repaired and copied.

Slow Worm
The slow worm is a small, completely harmless lizard, which – contrary to its German name “Blindschleiche”– is perfectly able to see and is often mistaken for a snake because it has no legs and an elongated body. The German name is presumably derived from the Old High German word “Plintslicho”, which means “blinding sneaker”. This probably refers to the pretty, shining skin surface of the slow worm.
