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 This was absorbed first by a diffusely organised nervous system, which, in the course of evolution, has been replaced by a hierarchically organised one.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.
Learn moreHuman 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.
Learn moreHorses
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!
Learn moreAmphibians
More than 350 million years ago, the evolution of amphibians set in. Amphibians developed from fish – a first step towards life on land. Diverse reproduction strategies, manifold forms of appearance and a broad spectrum of sizes, ranging from the tiny Brazil litter frog to the giant salamander, constitute the special characteristics of the class of amphibians. The pupils learn about the different respiration techniques and the particularities of the amphibians’ circulatory system as well as about their defining characteristics and their repro- duction strategies. Moreover, the threat to amphibian species posed by environ- mental poisons and the climate change is also discussed. This DVD leads the pupils into the fascinating, unknown world of amphibians, which still remains to be fully researched.
Learn moreSpiders
Spiders evoke fear and disgust with many people. Spiders living in or near houses are often killed by humans or vacuumed away with their vacuum cleaners. But that does not need to happen! Spiders contribute to the biological balance by eating mosquitoes, flies and other pests. A world without spiders would be scary! The film covers in detail and explains the zoological classification of spiders, their characteristics, food and hunting techniques, their different habitats as well as reproduction and brood care. Spectacular shots of spiders make the film a thrilling experience and reveal what we have never seen before in the hidden world of spiders.

Schau dich schlau!“ begibt sich auf eine Reise in den Mikrokosmos unseres Körpers. Joey Grit Winkler und Fero Andersen stellen einige der bizarren Kreaturen vor, die auf und in uns zu Hause sind. Sie analysieren den „Lebensraum Mensch“ und zeigen, dass auf zwei Quadratzentimetern unserer Haut mehr Mikroben leben als Menschen auf der Erde.
Learn moreHunters and Hunted
The African night is not for sleeping. A lot is going on there. The hunters are lying in ambush and the preys are on alert. Predators are mammals. Scientifically they are called carnivores. But other predatory vertebrates such as cats, jackals, hyenas and crocodiles are colloquially termed »predators«. They feed on meat but are not very selective in doing so. As they are not specialised in one type of animal but eat all vertebrates as well as carrion, they are called opportunistic feeders, which means they target the food that is easiest for them to catch, in the shortest time and with minimum energy input.
Learn moreJewish Life
This is Noam. With his twin brothers Ron and Dan, his little sister Lia and, of course, his parents Esther and Alexis. Just a normal family. But there is one thing that distinguishes them from many other families – their faith. They are Jewish. This is the topic of this film. We will accompany Noam and his family for a year. It is a very special year for him because Noam will turn thirteen. He will then receive his bar mitzvah. This means that he will be an adult according to the Jewish belief. But one thing after another...

Schematisch ist die Erde eine Kugel, von einem Gradnetz umspannt, am Nord- und Südpol abgeflacht. Um sich selbst rotierend, umrundet die Erde die Sonne innerhalb eines Jahres. Der ungleiche Strahleneinfall beeinflusst die Jahreszeiten, Tages- und Nachtlänge und das Klima mit Folgen für unser Leben, Fauna und Flora.
