Drunken Driving
“Of course I can still drive.“ A sentence that many young people have certainly heard and even said themselves after drinking alcohol at a party. In this film, four young drivers, supervised by the police, test the truth of this assertion on an ADAC training ground.

Kunst der Moderne
Von der klassischen Moderne zur Gegenwartskunst. Was zeichnet diese Kunst aus? Um Kunst zu verstehen, muss man zunächst einen Zugang zu ihr finden, vielen Menschen fällt dies nicht leicht. Der Kuratorin Annika Schoemann ist unter anderem zuständig für die öffentliche Kunstvermittlung. Sie nimmt uns mit in zwei Museen für Moderne Kunst, in Galerien und zu aktiven Künstlern.

Kreislauf der Fotosynthese
Die Fotosynthese ist ein fundamentaler biochemischer Prozess, der von Pflanzen und Algen betrieben wird. In dem Film wird dieser Prozess in Grafiken und Realbildern detailliert und anschaulich dargestellt. Auf die Entdeckung durch Joseph Priestley und sein berühmtes Experiment wird ebenso eingegangen wie auf die Bedeutung der Fotosynthese für die Ökosysteme der Erde.

Human Brain
Every organism, no matter whether it is an earthworm, a snail, a fish or a human being, takes in information from the environment through differently structured sensory organs. This was absorbed first by a diffusely organised nervous system, which, in the course of evolution, has been replaced by a hierarchically organised one. Eventually a controlling centre has developed that interconnects and coordinates the nerve impulses supplied by receptors, reacts appropriately and is called the brain. In more highly developed organisms a part of the body has developed into a head, in parallel to the development of the brain.

Human Lung
Only rarely do we notice that we need them: our lungs. Mostly, we breathe unconsciously and shallowly – especially if we have a sitting job.

Horses
They are the epitome of power and elegance. Man domesticated them long after dog and cat, they provided meat, were strong agricultural helpers pulling ploughs and other implements. These hard times are over for the animals – their range of service has changed. The most favourite animal of many children and grown-ups, it has changed from former working animal to today’s companion for sport and leisure. The horse breeds known today are descended from a primeval horse. It lived about 50 million years ago – that is fifty with six zeros after it!

Reptiles
This DVD offers a clearly structured overview over reptiles with an emphasis on the following aspects: The origin of reptiles is proven by fossil finds from all over the world. The skeletons are proof that reptiles were not confined to life on land but were also adapted to water and the air. The typical common characteristics of reptiles, such as the coat of scales and a poikilothermic body temperature, as well as the extremely different appearances of poisonous snakes and constrictors, turtles, lizards and crocodiles are discussed in detail. The different methods of finding food both as a herbivore or as an ambush predator with the use of poison or with the help of a pit organ are shown. The “invention” of the amnion made the reptiles’ reproduction independent from water and enab- led them to lay their eggs on land.

Ticks
Already the dinosaurs, which populated the Earth some 90 million years ago, were familiar with the tiny, dangerous pests, and the Greek poet Homer attributed healing and potency-enhancing effects to them in the late 8th century BC – however, only in pulverised form. The animals described are those clingy, blood-sucking mini-vampires – the ticks. In fact, they are parasites dangerous to us humans; not because of the amount of blood they extract but due to the diseases they can transmit in doing so. This film invites you to visit the family of the small parasites of the phylum Athropoda belonging to the class of Arachnida.

Basics of Biology II
In its first chapter, Basics of Biology II deals with the food chain. The producers as the basis of the food chain and the consumers, the herbivores and carnivores, are introduced /presented. Further focus points are the energy intake through food as well as the energy losses connected with it. The resulting energy efficiency of a herbivore is vividly illustrated in an experiment. Subsequently the carbon cycle is dealt with: its occurrence and the carbon cycle from producer to consumer, and last but not least the function of destruents. In the third chapter the next important cycle, the nitrogen cycle, is discussed. Special emphasis is put on the process of nitrification as well as the function of nitrogen-binding micro-organisms and their natural fertilisation of our agricultural soil. The importance of the nitrate for plants is shown in a laboratory test. Together with the extensive additional material the DVD is ideally suited for use in the classroom.

Infections
’Health isn’t everything but everything is nothing without health.‘ – This clever sentence comes from the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. Since the introduction of antibiotics we are hardly aware of infectious diseases as a threat to our health anymore. However, how important successful prevention and therapy are is shown in the fact that in Germany alone about 50,000 deaths are caused by infectious diseases every year. Infections are the second most common cause of death worldwide. According to an estimate of the World Health Organisation more than 30% of deaths worldwide are related to infectious diseases. Most of them affect people in poorer countries and over 15 million people die of infections worldwide.
