Solar Energy
80 % of our current energy needs are covered by fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas). Their supply may soon lead to severe problems as worldwide stocks will be exhausted one day. That is why the future belongs to renewable energy from sun, wind, water, and biomass. The Sun as an inexhaustible energy source is estimated to be available to us for another 4.5 billion years to come. It supplies us with “clean energy“ that is available everywhere on earth and that exceeds worldwide energy needs many times over. The film presents the pupils with the long history of solar energy use. The functioning of solar collectors, solar cells and solar power plants is explained, the current operating ranges of solar technology are dealt with and an outlook for the future is provided. With the act on the phasing-out of nuclear energy Germany has taken over a pioneering role worldwide in the field of renewable energies. Together with the extensive accompanying material the DVD is ideally suited for use in the classroom.

Halogens
The compounds of halogens are - with the exception of astatine - widespread, can be encountered in nature and are versatile substances. This fact is taken up on this DVD in order to teach the students the chemistry of the halogens by illustrating their special qualities and explaining the correlation of their structure with their chemical properties. In the first part, an overview of the element group of halogens lays emphasis on the common as well as on the distinguishing characteristics of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. In a second part, the specific properties of fluorine and chlorine are presented. This topic is linked to the students‘ everyday experience (fluorine as a protection against caries, chlorine as a disinfectant, etc.) on the one hand. On the other hand, the DVD presents carefully selected experiments. As a rule, they are of a kind that can only be realized with difficulty, or high expenditure in the chemistry classroom. With the help of these experiments, students are introduced to the chemistry of the halogens in a way that enables them to draw conclusions on the basis of their observations.

Energydrinks
Der Film startet mit einer überraschenden Erkenntnis: Schon ca. 17 Prozent aller Grundschüler trinken regelmäßig Energydrinks – obwohl diese nicht in Kinderhände gehören. Denn: Wer zu viel und zu oft die Muntermacher trinkt, riskiert gerade als Jugendlicher massive Gesundheitsschäden – und immer mehr Jugendliche in Deutschland sind schon betroffen.

Der Friedensrichter von Neukölln

Der Film begleitet ihn, wie er als Friedensrichter von einem Konflikt zum nächsten eilt und z. B. dabei hilft, einen Familienstreit beizulegen. Er hat auch schon bei einem Fall von Schutzgelderpressung eingegriffen. Nur wenn es um schwere, meist körperliche Delikte geht, lehnt er jede Hilfe ab.

Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.

Every noon she comes to have lunch in the ward. The girl seems to feel her strength ebbing away and has decided not to talk anymore. The children at this stage believe that the grown-ups can prevent death but see that they're not doing so. Thus, they seal themselves off and retreat into their own world. And when this happens, Sister Marie Stella and her team prepare the children for death, just as they do with the grown-ups. Albertine was allowed to chose a dress from the dressmakers for the Christmas celebration.

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.
