Marine Mammals
The oceans are the home of whales, which look like fish but, in fact, are mammals like we humans and breathe with their lungs. The film shows the peculiarities of whales, which are divided into two main groups: baleen whales and toothed whales. Baleen whales, among which there is also the blue whale, the biggest of all whales, feed on tiny crustaceans called krill. Toothed whales feed on fish, crabs and other marine animals. One of the best known representatives is the killer whale, which is the fastest marine mammal with a speed of up to 55 km/h. With their leaps they delight the audiences in sea life aquariums. Whether they should be kept like that is a highly controversial issue, however. Whales are also much coveted because of their fat, meat and oil. Having been ruthlessly killed, whales have amost been wiped out and today are subject to international protection. Whale watching boosts people’s interest in these formidable animals. Another threatened animal species lives in the warm and shallow waters of Central America: the sea cows, which feed exclusively on plants and surface for breathing every 2 to 5 minutes. With the extensive accompanying material this DVD is perfectly suited for use in the classroom.

Chimpanzees
They are many children’s favourites. And expert gymnasts in their realm. Dexterously they make their way hand over hand from branch to branch or skilfully climb the long ropes. And in many respects they are quite similar to us – the monkeys, in particular the great apes. These here live in a zoo. But – where, actually, is their true homeland? Apes such as the orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos originate from the tropical rainforests.

Christmas is a festival celebrated all over the world. Although it is a Christian feast, many people on Earth know and celebrate Christmas.

The Ladybird
The seven-spotted ladybird was chosen insect of the year 2006. Besides the characteristics of this and other ladybird species, the film also shows the reproduction and develop- ment of various species and their geographic ranges. Fur- thermore, this DVD puts emphasis on the explanation of the ecological web of relationships the ladybird is part of. Here, the relation with humans also plays a role as people have always valued ladybirds because they kill aphids and are pretty to look at. Apart from the ladybird itself, several natural enemies such as insects and spiders are shown in impressive close-ups. The film is highly suitable for overcoming any prejudices the pupils might hold towards these groups of animals.The film is suitable for primary school lessons and secondary school biology studies, including the subject area of ecology in the 8th year of school.

Postal Service
The postal service as an organisation for the delivery of news and retail goods through letters, postcards, parcels and packages is considered a part of the pupils‘ life experience and thus dealt with at primary school. This film is meant to illustrate this important procedural part of the children‘s lives and to make it intelligible to them. It deals with the writing, addressing, stamping and sending of a letter, with the importance of stamps, with the letter box and its emptying and the journey of a letter or a package from the sender to the addressee. Both as an introduction to the topic and as a tool in the hands of the pupils when working individually or preparing projects, the DVD and the didactically arranged accompanying material are perfectly suited for the classroom. A short excursus on the history of the stamp and a glance behind the scenes of a letter centre as well as a sorting centre, which usually cannot be visited, complete this informative DVD on the postal service.

Die innere Uhr
Der Faktor Zeit bestimmt unser gesamtes Leben. Manchmal scheint sie dabei still zu stehen und manchmal scheint sie nur so zu rennen. Zeit ist zwar eine physikalische Größe, die sich durch Uhren bis auf Millisekunden messen lässt. Das tatsächliche Zeitempfinden ist aber bei jedem Menschen individuell unterschiedlich. Woran liegt es, dass dem Einen eine Stunde ewig lang vorkommt, der Andere aber das Gefühl hat, es sei nur ein Augenblick vergangen? „Schau dich schlau!“ will wissen: Was ist mir unserem Zeitgefühl los? Was bedeutet Zeit überhaupt?
