Single-cell Organisms
The Earth is the only planet known to us where liquid water ─ the source of life ─ exists.

Mice, Small Rodents
Mice are found almost everywhere. The small agile rodents live in forests, meadows and fields but also in our very midst. They have long or short tails, big or small ears. Even if they differ on the outside, all of them have one thing in common: sharp incisors with which they gnaw their way through life. Not every animal called “mouse“, counts among the ”true mice“. The white-toothed shrew, a small, grey-coloured animal, is often found in settlement areas. Outwardly it looks very similar to a true mouse, its frenzied behaviour reminds of mice, too. Shrews, however, are not rodents but carnivores with sharp little teeth, which feed on worms, woodlice, insect larvae and other invertebrates. They are more closely related to the hedgehog or the mole than to mice.

Fish
This DVD offers a clearly structured overview of fish with an emphasis on the following aspects: The typical body build of fish and their adaptation to the water habitat are shown. The fish skeleton proves that they are vertebrates. Their sense organs (eyes, nose, barbels, lateral lines) are adjusted for survival in water. The skin is characterised by different kinds of scales. Free water fish, ground fish and surface fish are distinguished from each other by three typical mouth and body shapes. Locomotion in the water is made possible by different kinds of fins. Respiration through gills is a typical feature of fish. Herbivores possess typical characteristics distinguishing them from carnivores. Swarm fish and loners display different behaviour patterns. The film is divided into six menu items (chapters), which may be individually accessed and worked on. For this purpose, additional pictures, diagrams, texts or selected short film clips are offered, which can simply be called up by remote control.

Microcosm
We perceive the world we live in with our sense organs. However, perception with our senses represents only a limited part of the cosmos we live in. There is a world eluding the perception of our eyes. It exists hidden away for its cosmos is extremely small. The world of microcosm. This world is full of fascination and surprises. Up to the 1930s a deeper penetration into the microcosm was impossible. Only the invention of a new technology enabled us to render still smaller details of the microcosm visible to the human eye. A magnification of up to a thousandth millimetre has become possible. This film provides a profound insight into the microcosm. Rare pictures of mites, water bears and other creatures, made visible by means of various microscopes make the film an extraordinary experience. In addition, the DVD includes bonus material explaining the functions of the different microscopes with the help of diagrams. Due to the combination of the subjects of microcosm and microscopes, this DVD is perfectly suited for biology classes as well as physics lessons.

Fette und Öle
Das Verhältnis zu Fett ist zwiespältig. Die einen streichen es aus ihrer Ernährung, die anderen geben horrende Summen für kaltgepresstes Olivenöl und seltenes Arganöl aus, um gesunde Fette zu sich zu nehmen. Dabei braucht der menschliche Organismus Fett um richtig funktionieren zu können. "Schau dich schlau!" nimmt Öle und Fette wie Oliven- und Sonnenblumenöl, Butter und Margarine unter die Lupe und zeigt, warum unser Körper darauf angewiesen ist um seine volle Leistung bringen zu können. Joey Grit Winkler und Fero Andersen wühlen sich durch den Ernährungsdschungel und entlarven typische Fettfallen. Von welchen Produkten sollte man die Finger lassen, weil sie viel fetter sind als wir annehmen? Je besser ein Gericht schmeckt, desto mehr Fett beinhaltet es in der Regel. Denn Fett ist ein Geschmacksverstärker. So zum Beispiel in Käse und Wurstsorten, aber auch in Gerichten wie Pommes oder Fischstäbchen, die frittiert werden. Um nicht auf diese Leckereien verzichten zu müssen, zeigt Fero Andersen wie man richtig frittiert und dabei nicht mehr Öl als nötig verwendet. Wer mit Fett brät, läuft bei falschem Umgang schnell Gefahr, eine Explosion oder einen Brand zu entfachen. Deshalb zeigt "Schau dich schlau!", wie sich dieses unnötige Risiko vermeiden lässt und wie – sollte der Fall doch eintreten – ein Fettbrand gelöscht werden kann.

Angst und Phobien
Das Herz klopft, der Puls geht schneller, Schweiß bricht aus: Angst gehört zur „Grundausstattung“ unserer Gefühle, warnt uns vor gefährlichen Situationen und setzt unseren Körper in Alarmbereitschaft. So können wir instinktiv richtig reagieren, ohne groß nachzudenken. Angst ist ein Urinstinkt, der uns schützen soll.

World Religions
Since humanity has existed, people have been concerned with the question of the origin of life, how it goes on after death and what the essence of a person's life is. People have always expressed the hope that they are not left alone in their existence and that there is a higher reason that gives them life, protects it and eventually preserves it.

Mais
Mais ist eine der ältesten Kulturpflanzen der Welt. Ursprünglich kommt er aus Mittelamerika und war dort als Nahrung unentbehrlich. Christoph Kolumbus hat einige dieser Getreidepflanzen auf seinen Schiffen mit nach Europa genommen, so verbreitete sich die Pflanze recht schnell.

Natural Gas
It provides heat for radiators and for cooking, generates electricity and even drives cars: natural gas is an important energy resource – worldwide, and also here in Germany.

Earthquakes
For millennia, people have been afraid of earthquakes. A force of nature that regularly devastates whole regions and claims thousands of lives. One reason for the fear of earthquakes may be that so far people have not succeeded in predicting these natural phenomena. Therefore, earthquakes still hit people unprepared in most regions of the world.

Capitals of Central Europe I
This DVD presents the German-speaking capitals of Central Europe, Berlin, Bern, Vaduz and Vienna. By way of introduction, the pupils learn about the natural and climatic boundaries of the Central European region and which countries it encompasses. Based on this, the film first focuses on the topographic situation of the respective capital of the countries of Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein, and the history of the cities’ foundation is briefly outlined. To illustrate their function as capitals, the government buildings in Berlin, Bern, Vaduz and Vienna are described but the DVD also goes into the respective infrastructural and economic particularities. Impressive pictures and the accompanying material give a lasting account of the growth of the metropolis of Vienna thanks to its favourable geographic situation at the Danube trade route and the Habsburg dynasty. The traces of Berlin’s division into West Berlin and East Berlin are documented, Bern is shown in its special role as federal capital of Switzerland and capital of the canton of Bern, and Vaduz is introduced as small capital of international repute as a financial centre.
