Continents
A Journey around the World
Continents are continuous expanses of land that are clearly separated from each other by oceans.
The land masses are divided into seven continents:
North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia and Antarctica.
These continents are constantly moving.
About 260 million years ago, there was a huge continent which united all large plates of the Earth’s crust.
On this enormous continent called Pangaea, the time of the dinosaurs started about 230 million years ago.
Pangaea began to break up. Two land masses formed called Laurasia in the north and Gondwana in the south.
150 to 70 million years ago, Laurasia and Gondwana broke up further into individual land areas in which today’s continents can already be recognised.
Back then, these continents were much closer together.
So new oceans formed in the spaces in between them,

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
Podcasting
Today, the use of new media has become a matter of course not only in everyday life – schools and teaching, too, benefit from the new technologies and methods, which support active and independent learning. Especially in computer science, ethics and language courses but also in all other subjects, modern media are a valuable pedagogic and didactic asset. This DVD uses the example of podcasts to demonstrate how the possibilities opened up by new media can be applied in the classroom and how the pupils can be taught to handle them in a competent and target-oriented manner. The film is aimed at supporting the use of podcasts at school and encourages making them. This also requires the ability to find information on the Internet and assess it. The film informs on the functionality of podcasts and technical background as well as on the teaching and learning possibilities offered by podcasts – ranging from specific contents to superordinate learning targets such as the advancement of creativity and team spirit. The DVD is a useful support for teachers applying new media and wishing to show their pupils how to handle Running Time: 20:29 ms them in a sensible way.
