Crane
Even though all cranes are lifting equipment – type and appearance of a crane can be quite different. Depending on their purpose and operating site there are various types of cranes and various crane technologies. There are crane types which are mobile and mounted on a vehicle. Other cranes, however, are permanently installed and located on a construction site, at a port or in a hall.

The Farm
This DVD offers some insight into the life on a farm today. In a way easily understandable for primary school pupils, the film shows with simple and tranquil pictures the daily work in an agricultural business. At the same time, a number of domestic animals are introduced to the children and they learn about their characteristics and lives as well as their use for us humans.The DVD covers the following aspects of the topic: Cows and cattle (modern milk production in the milking plant, cow-keeping on the pasture and in the cowshed, birth and rearing of the calves); pigs (pigs as productive livestock, characteristics, preferences, reproduction); poultry (free-ranging chicken, hatching of a chick, turkeys and geese as fat stock); horses and goats on the farm (information on these domestic animals, their use); small animals on a farm (cats, dog, bees, swallows); agricultural crops (types of cereal like wheat, barley and corn, tilling of the fields, transport and storage of hay using modern farming machines).The film is divided into six menu items (chapters). Each chapter can be individually accessed and worked on.

Postal Service
The postal service as an organisation for the delivery of news and retail goods through letters, postcards, parcels and packages is considered a part of the pupils‘ life experience and thus dealt with at primary school. This film is meant to illustrate this important procedural part of the children‘s lives and to make it intelligible to them. It deals with the writing, addressing, stamping and sending of a letter, with the importance of stamps, with the letter box and its emptying and the journey of a letter or a package from the sender to the addressee. Both as an introduction to the topic and as a tool in the hands of the pupils when working individually or preparing projects, the DVD and the didactically arranged accompanying material are perfectly suited for the classroom. A short excursus on the history of the stamp and a glance behind the scenes of a letter centre as well as a sorting centre, which usually cannot be visited, complete this informative DVD on the postal service.

Die innere Uhr
Der Faktor Zeit bestimmt unser gesamtes Leben. Manchmal scheint sie dabei still zu stehen und manchmal scheint sie nur so zu rennen. Zeit ist zwar eine physikalische Größe, die sich durch Uhren bis auf Millisekunden messen lässt. Das tatsächliche Zeitempfinden ist aber bei jedem Menschen individuell unterschiedlich. Woran liegt es, dass dem Einen eine Stunde ewig lang vorkommt, der Andere aber das Gefühl hat, es sei nur ein Augenblick vergangen? „Schau dich schlau!“ will wissen: Was ist mir unserem Zeitgefühl los? Was bedeutet Zeit überhaupt?

From Hatchling to Swan
This native water bird glides majestically across the water. It has a graceful curved neck. But how does a small “grey duckling“ change into an “elegant swan”? At the age of two to three years, Mute Swans can have swanlings and set out to find a mate. Already in autumn, the mating time for the Mute Swans begins, mating birds, however, can be seen until March. Here, Mute Swans show a behaviour quite unusual in Anatidae: males and females court each other.

Units of Length
The DVD starts with a look back into the past. How did peop- le measure in former times? What historical units of measure- ment were there? What is the standard metre? Since when has there been a system of units? Subsequently, the units of measurement – metre (m), centimetre (cm), milllimetre (mm), decimetre (dm) and kilo- metre (km) – are examined more closely. In a third chapter, an overview of the conversions is presented and their systematics explained. Decimal points and the prefixes are clearly illustrated. Then the DVD offers a digression visiting other countries and their length units. America and Great Britain, with inches, feet, yards and miles, play a central role. In the fifth chapter, calculations using scales are presented. Here the focus is laid on scales in maps, but also scaling down and up are dealt with. In the last chapter, circumferences of rectangles and squares are measured and calculated with various examples.

Licht und Farbe
Ohne Licht würde auf unserer Erde kaum Leben existieren. Pflanzen brauchen diese elektromagentischen Wellen, um zu wachsen und durch den Vorgang der Photosynthese unter anderem Sauerstoff zu produzieren. Genauso sind Farben wesentlicher Bestandteil in der Natur und haben ihre eigene Bedeutung. Auffällige Färbungen bei Reptilien sollen Gefahr signalisieren, während ein möglichst prächtiges Federkleid bei Vögeln ihre Attraktivität steigern soll. Genau wie andere Arten reagieren auch Menschen auf Licht und Farben. „Schau dich schlau!“ zeigt, wie die beiden Komponenten eingesetzt werden, um uns Wohlbehagen zu bescheren oder uns zum Beispiel zum Kaufen zu animieren.

Solar Energy
80 % of our current energy needs are covered by fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas). Their supply may soon lead to severe problems as worldwide stocks will be exhausted one day. That is why the future belongs to renewable energy from sun, wind, water, and biomass. The Sun as an inexhaustible energy source is estimated to be available to us for another 4.5 billion years to come. It supplies us with “clean energy“ that is available everywhere on earth and that exceeds worldwide energy needs many times over. The film presents the pupils with the long history of solar energy use. The functioning of solar collectors, solar cells and solar power plants is explained, the current operating ranges of solar technology are dealt with and an outlook for the future is provided. With the act on the phasing-out of nuclear energy Germany has taken over a pioneering role worldwide in the field of renewable energies. Together with the extensive accompanying material the DVD is ideally suited for use in the classroom.

Greek Mythology
The search for the origin and meaning of our existence has always been an integral part of the history of mankind. The religion and myths of the ancient Greeks with their impressive realm of gods were influenced by the oldest advanced civilisations of Mesopotamia and Egypt, spread their impact in Hellenistic and Roman times and have retained their influence on the culture of the Western world until today.
