Hornisse
Aussehen, Verbreitung, Lebensweise
Der Film erklärt anschaulich die Lebensweise und den Nestbau der Hornissen und zeigt, wie wichtig sie für das ökologische Gleichgewicht sind.
Mit beeindruckenden Nahaufnahmen wird das Verhalten der Hornissen im Jahresverlauf dokumentiert – von der Königinnen-Gründung bis zur Auflösung des Volkes im Herbst.
Zudem räumt der Film mit Vorurteilen auf und vermittelt, warum Hornissen trotz ihres schlechten Rufs friedliche und geschützte Tiere sind.

Bees, Bumblebees and Wasps
Our smallest domestic animals, the honey bees, belong to the insect order of hymenoptera just like bumblebees, wasps and ants. Many of these insects live in huge colonies with division of labour and a caste system. However, there also are less conspicuous small hymenoptera like, for instance, the mason- bee, which on its own builds complex nests for its offspring and supplies it with food. We haven’t even noticed that it has followed us into our human settlements and we don’t consider that we are taking away the habitats from these small interesting insects. This film pays attention to all these important plant pollinators, allows insights into the work of bees and wasps and shows how we can observe and protect them.
Peer Mediation
Lena and Max attend the 7th form. Max is new in class. During a break, Max notices that Lena and her friend are laughing at him again. Max loses his temper! He slaps Lena in the face. That hurts and Lena runs back into the classroom with a red cheek. The growing conflict between the two has escalated. Just like Lena and Max, every day pupils all over Germany have rows with each other. At the Heinrich Hertz Gymnasium in Thuringia, pupils have been trained as mediators for years. At set hours, they are in a room made available by the school specifically for mediation purposes. The film describes the growing conflict between Max and Lena and shows a mediation using their example. In doing so, the terms “conflict” and “peer mediation” are explained in a non-technical way. The aims of peer mediation and its progress in five steps as well as the mediators’ tasks are illustrated. The art of asking questions and “mirroring”, which the mediators must know, is described and explained. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is a suitable medium to introduce peer mediation at your school, too.
