Desert
Types, Vegetation, Fauna
Deserts and semi-deserts cover roughly a third of the entire landmass of the Earth. A huge area of our planet is thus defined as an arid region. But what exactly are arid regions and are they similar everywhere? In general, landscapes where only highly specialised plants or no plants at all can grow due to their extreme dryness are referred to as arid regions. Therefore, cold deserts also fall into this category. Although they have water, it is frozen due to the cold and thus not available for plants. In addition, the lack of vegetation is caused by the lack of warmth. The marginal zones of the polar regions Arctic and Antarctica i.a. count among the cold deserts, but also the alpine cold deserts of high mountains. The picture is entirely different with arid deserts. In arid deserts, little precipitation and a high rate of evaporation are mainly responsible for the lack of an extensive vegetation cover. Most arid deserts stretch out around the globe in two broad dry belts north and south of the equator.

Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
