Fossils
Formation and Places of Discovery
Is it possible for a stone to tell us a story about what animals and plants used to be there in former times?
And “former times” does not mean a few centuries but millions of years.
Such witnesses of a time period as these petrified animals are called fossils. And they can show us today what the creatures looked like back then, when they were turned into stone millions of years ago. Even if the species themselves have long been extinct.
But there’s more. With the help of the many fossils that humans have meanwhile found on Earth – actually mainly below ground – we can also explore what the environment these animals used to live in must have looked like once.

Especially in computer science, ethics and language courses but also in all other subjects, modern media are a valuable pedagogic and didactic asset. This DVD uses the example of podcasts to demonstrate how the possibilities opened up by new media can be applied in the classroom and how the pupils can be taught to handle them in a competent and target-oriented manner. The film is aimed at supporting the use of podcasts at school and encourages making them. This also requires the ability to find information on the Internet and assess it. The film informs on the functionality of podcasts and technical background as well as on the teaching and learning possibilities offered by podcasts – ranging from specific contents to superordinate learning targets such as the advancement of creativity and team spirit. The DVD is a useful support for teachers applying new media and wishing to show their pupils how to handle Running Time: 20:29 ms them in a sensible way.
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.
