The Potato
The potato is one of the most important food staples of the world. Together with rice, maize, wheat, barley, soy and sugar cane it is one of the seven most important foods on earth. Originally it came from the Andes in South America. The Spaniards brought it to Europe and then to all other continents. It is cultivated in 130 countries on earth. Cultivation has already resulted in many different varieties. Some are waxy, others turn floury when cooked and are especially suited for soups or mash. In Germany, more than a hundred varieties with different qualities and flavours are on the market. Very specific varieties for any purpose are being cultivated. It takes about ten years to develop a new variety and to have it licensed for cultivation. The potato is the most frequent cultivated crop plant and also our staple food. Together with the extensive additional material the DVD is ideally suited for use in the classroom.

Magical World of Snow
With descriptive real and trick sequences, the film explains how snow forms and what different kinds of snow crystals there are. We observe a snow researcher at work and watch growing snow crystals under a microscope in spectacular close-ups. The film also answers the questions why snow looks white to us or crunches; it shows sledge dogs in action and explains ingenious survival strategies of animals in winter. Other clips show the joy of some winter sports but also point out their dangers. A tourist guide explains the precautionary measures to avoid a possible risk of avalanches. The topic of snow cannons is also covered in the film – like glaciers, too, or artificial snow in a slightly unusual use. Comprehensive, interdisciplinary accompanying material consolidates and deepens the knowledge of the subject.

The Hedgehog
It carries on its back up to 8000 spines although it is no more than 30 centimetres long. In spite of that it can assert itself very well against its enemies. Because this insectivore can roll up into a ball. Although the hedgehog is a wild animal, it likes to live near humans today. With simple explanations and beautiful film shots the pupils learn about the species-specific behaviour, the characteristics of our endemic common hedgehog but also about the threats it is exposed to. At night, the hedgehog is accompanied on its forays for food, by day, it can be seen sleeping deeply in its hideout, and when the mating season is over, six orphaned hoglets are accompanied on their way to maturity. The thematic fields focussed upon are habitat and distribution, characteristics, behaviour throughout the year, food, reproduction as well as protection and endangerment. The film arouses curiosity about and fascination for the hedgehog and furthers the pupils’ environmental awareness. Together with the extensive accompanying teaching material the DVD is perfectly suited for use in the classroom.

Milch und Käse
Seit Jahrtausenden wird aus geronnener Milch eines der schmackhaftesten und vielfältigsten Grundnahrungsmittel hergestellt: Käse. Alle Varianten und Sorten aufzuzählen, die es allein in Europa gibt, ist eine nahezu unlösbare Aufgabe. Am berühmtesten sind die gelben Laibe aus der Schweiz und Frankreich. Aber auch Deutschland braucht sich in der Käse-Frage nicht hinter seinen beiden Nachbarn zu verstecken. Für "Schau dich schlau!" begeben sich Joey Grit Winkler und Fero Andersen auf die Reise ins Käse-Universum. Während Joey alle offenen Fragen rund ums Thema klärt, beschäftigt sich Fero mit praktischen Dingen - der Käseherstellung!
