Whales
Way of Life, Threats, Protection
Humans have always found them fascinating: whales, the giants of the seas. Whales can be classified either as baleen whales or toothed whales. There are about 80 different whale species. Even from a greater distance, some species can be distinguished from others by their typical spout, their steamy fountain. Being mammals, whales have to come up to the water surface for breathing at certain intervals. The compressed breathing air is expelled through the blowhole with the breath condensing and forming a visible cloud in the case of large whales.

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.
