The Senses
This DVD shows how we humans use our five senses to get in touch with our environment. The primary school pupils learn in an easily understandable way about the specifics, the use and the sensitiveness of each sensory organ and receive methodically organised information on their structure, function and protection. In addition, the human sensory organs are compared to those of different animals to illustrate similarities and differences. The DVD puts emphasis on the following topics: “Senso- ry Perceptions”, “The Eyes”, “The Ears”, “The Nose”, “The Tongue” and “The Skin”. The DVD is made up of five didactic units that can be inde- pendently accessed via the DVD’s menu structure. Further, the menu includes additional pictures and diagrams. With a variety of worksheets, test questions and colour slides, the curricular contents of the DVD can be captured for a more de- tailed discussion of the topic of the senses in the classroom.

Our Money
„Money makes the world go round.“ Today this proverb is more topical than ever and perfectly describes our dependence on the currency of money. This DVD is intended to contribute to an understanding of the phenomenon of money. In doing so, it first provides an overview of different world currencies with the main emphasis on our currency, the euro. The film shows that the European currency is not specific to a country but transnational. Common features as well as differences in the coins and notes are presented and illustrated. We accompany Jenny and Jakob during their day and learn how to compare, assess, count and calculate with sums of money. The DVD looks critically into the topic of borrowing. In addition, it demonstrates the advantages of saving up, explains the concept of interest and shows how to open an account. This DVD provides a good overview of handling money and calculating with it, describes its form and characteristics and is perfectly suited for lessons in both general knowledge and mathematics at primary school.

Wetter
„Nach Regen kommt oft Sonnenschein - Das Wetter“ „Schau dich schlau!“ nimmt heute die verschiedenen Wetterbedingungen unter die Lupe. Wie entstehen Wind, Gewitter, Regen und Hagel? Außerdem zeigen unsere Moderatoren Joey Grit Winkler und Fero Andersen, wann die verschiedenen Wetterlagen für den Menschen gefährlich werden können. Im Selbstversuch testet Fero Andersen, bei welchen Windstärken ganz normale, alltägliche Tätigkeiten wie Frühstücken, Zeitung lesen oder Rasieren überhaupt noch möglich sind. Außerdem beweist er, dass ein teurer Regenschirm nicht unbedingt der Beste sein muss.

Breakfast
Breakfasting – this morning ritual exists in almost every country, every culture and every century. However, food, time, process and duration vary from country to country, family to family, person to person. The first meal of the day is of particular importance. It allows us to fully wake up. Around the table, the day's schedule is planned. Here is where the family meet. Above all, breakfasting is important for children. When they get up, the energy storage from the previous day is empty because the body consumes energy also during rest and sleep. A healthy, substantial breakfast helps us to gather new strength.

All Is Number
“All is number“, this saying already applied in the 5th century B.C. when the brotherhood of the “Pythagoreans“ was founded. Natural, rational and irrational numbers have been an important concept since the creation of the Bible, throughout antiquity up to our modern times. The Fibonacci Numbers, for example, have not only found their use as a numerical pattern in mathematics, they have also been immortalised in art and painting. In this film different and amusing approaches to mathematical methods and processes are illustrated with vivid images, which facilitate pupils’ understanding. In many things that we handle every day fascinating numerical proportions are hidden. Squaring the rectangle and the circle play an important role thereby. Since Greek antiquity the Golden Ratio has been considered to be the epitome of aesthetics and harmony. Together with the extensive accompanying material the DVD is ideally suited for use in the classroom.

Smart Grid
The turnaround in energy policy is meant to lead away from the old system of centralised power stations, from the conventional energy sources such as coal, oil or nuclear power. Instead, energy is to be generated in a lot of smaller installations from renewable sources such as sun or wind. That leads to a new structure of energy supply. The turnaround requires a new, intelligent system with which the energy exchange between generator and consumer will be controlled in the future. The English term “smart grid“, which translated means nothing other than ’intelligent electricity network’, represents this system of the future.

Industrialization
This DVD treats the different working and living conditions of people in the Ruhr valley around the year 1900 and refers to the thesis of the sociologist Li Fischer-Eckert. She conducted interviews with working class women on their living conditions in the workers’ housing estates in 1911 and 1912. Based on her findings, she divided the workers in four classes: The first one has a “cosy home without luxury or deprivations”, those in the second class live “on the verge of deprivation”, the poorer workers “are defeated by unfavourable conditions” and those in the fourth class live in “complete neglect”. With the kitchen-cum-living-rooms set up in the Ruhrland Museum, which are shown and described in the film in an impressive way, a direct insight is offered into the workers’ lives. Furthermore, work in heavy industry and mining, the strict reign of the employers as well as the changes in social policy and the workers’ fight for their rights are discussed.

Apartheid
A new era began for South Africa when, in 1886, an out-of-work miner struck gold at the Witwatersrand in South Africa. The consequences of the discovery of the world’s largest natural treasure were dramatic. From all over the world speculators and adventurers flocked to the area. Scattered »gold fever« shanty towns mushroomed, which soon developed into modern concrete cities, though. The wealth created by the gold made South Africa grow into an industrial and financial power. Today, the economy of the country is the most important of the entire African continent. But there are many pitfalls. It is imperative to recognise them in order to confront the challenges of the future.
