Contraception
In view of a considerable number of teenage pregnancies and commencement of sexual activities at an average age of 15, the topic of contraception is extremely important in lower secondary school. This DVD offers a complete film as well as working materi- al that allows for a discussion of the topic according to the requirements of the respective type of school as well as to the socio-cultural circumstances. Apart from the film itself, which outlines the most important contraceptive methods, selected animations can be accessed via the menu. They illustrate complex content such as a woman’s cycle, structure and function of the male sexual organs and the effects of different contraceptives in terms understandable to pupils. The film is suitable for an entire series of lessons, with the teachers deciding themselves on the basis of the menu struc- ture what content is appropriate for a class.

Microcosm
We perceive the world we live in with our sense organs. However, perception with our senses represents only a limited part of the cosmos we live in. There is a world eluding the perception of our eyes. It exists hidden away for its cosmos is extremely small. The world of microcosm. This world is full of fascination and surprises. Up to the 1930s a deeper penetration into the microcosm was impossible. Only the invention of a new technology enabled us to render still smaller details of the microcosm visible to the human eye. A magnification of up to a thousandth millimetre has become possible. This film provides a profound insight into the microcosm. Rare pictures of mites, water bears and other creatures, made visible by means of various microscopes make the film an extraordinary experience. In addition, the DVD includes bonus material explaining the functions of the different microscopes with the help of diagrams. Due to the combination of the subjects of microcosm and microscopes, this DVD is perfectly suited for biology classes as well as physics lessons.

Fette und Öle
Das Verhältnis zu Fett ist zwiespältig. Die einen streichen es aus ihrer Ernährung, die anderen geben horrende Summen für kaltgepresstes Olivenöl und seltenes Arganöl aus, um gesunde Fette zu sich zu nehmen. Dabei braucht der menschliche Organismus Fett um richtig funktionieren zu können. "Schau dich schlau!" nimmt Öle und Fette wie Oliven- und Sonnenblumenöl, Butter und Margarine unter die Lupe und zeigt, warum unser Körper darauf angewiesen ist um seine volle Leistung bringen zu können. Joey Grit Winkler und Fero Andersen wühlen sich durch den Ernährungsdschungel und entlarven typische Fettfallen. Von welchen Produkten sollte man die Finger lassen, weil sie viel fetter sind als wir annehmen? Je besser ein Gericht schmeckt, desto mehr Fett beinhaltet es in der Regel. Denn Fett ist ein Geschmacksverstärker. So zum Beispiel in Käse und Wurstsorten, aber auch in Gerichten wie Pommes oder Fischstäbchen, die frittiert werden. Um nicht auf diese Leckereien verzichten zu müssen, zeigt Fero Andersen wie man richtig frittiert und dabei nicht mehr Öl als nötig verwendet. Wer mit Fett brät, läuft bei falschem Umgang schnell Gefahr, eine Explosion oder einen Brand zu entfachen. Deshalb zeigt "Schau dich schlau!", wie sich dieses unnötige Risiko vermeiden lässt und wie – sollte der Fall doch eintreten – ein Fettbrand gelöscht werden kann.

Biotechnology I
Biotechnology is the application of science and technology to living organisms. Today, biotechnology plays an increasingly important role in everyday life. Very rarely, however, are we aware of it because you cannot tell the biotechnological origin of products of the medical, pharmaceutical and food industries by their look. For example, the enzymes needed for cheese production are formed by biotechnologically programmed mould fungi.

Indian Priests
Is there anything unusual about Father Xavier, a coloured missionary from India, working as a priest in Germany? The film begins with Xavier in his Indian home village where people Christianity is part of people’s everyday lives. Then we see him work as a chaplain in a community in Munich where he is faced with the situation of the Church in Germany: empty rows and mainly senior churchgoers. He learns that foreigners are not always welcomed with open arms. What does “mission” mean today? Has Germany become a place in need of missionary work? If there is a shortage of young priests in Germany, is it possible to simply invite young priests from other cultures, from the churches of Asia, Africa and Latin America to come here? Are they bringing the message they once received from missionaries back to Europe? Does evangelisation now take place the other way round?

Coffee
Coffee has become the second most important commodity on the world market after crude oil, and it enjoys tremendous popularity around the globe. Allegedly, it happened by chance that the stimulating effect of the cherry-like fruit was discovered in the Ethiopian province of Kaffa. The deep brown, aromatic drink embarked on a global journey of success. From the middle of the 17th century, it also became widespread in Europe, even though it was a treat that was initially reserved for the prosperous. Today, however, it is a part of everyday life for many people. The DVD starts with the history of the spreading of coffee cultivation and continues to describe in detail the biological characteristics of the coffee shrub. Another chapter outlines the conditions for growth and introduces the most important coffee-producing regions. The long, laborious journey from the harvest of the ripe coffee cherry to the prepared cup is illustrated. The economically weakest link in this chain are the coffee farmers. There are several organisations acting on a worldwide scale that try to realise adequate prices for the coffee farmers and promote incentives for development by means of fair trade.s is described.

Das Ehrenamt
„Ich glaube, engagieren sich nicht Menschen für die Gesellschaft ehrenamtlich, dann würde das System, so wie wir es haben, einfach nicht funktionieren. Von daher glaube ich, ist das Ehrenamt, damit das alles so funktionieren kann, wie es das tut, ein wichtiges Steckenpferd.“, so das Zitat einer jungen ehrenamtlichen Mitarbeiterin bei den Maltesern.
