New Species in our Environment
Invasive Species
More and more animal and plant species successfully spread far away from their original homes. They are organisms that with our assistance – or even alone – are disseminated further and further across the globe: they are called invasive species.
This flamboyantly pink coloured bird is mostly known from zoos or television: the flamingo is unmistakable. Its arcuate bill works like a sieve. With its help flamingos filter tiny algae and crawfish from the water.
Flamingos are common in America and Asia. In Europe they have settled down in the Mediterranean area. But not only there – for about 40 years there have been flamingos living in the wild also in Germany! As they are new here, flamingos are considered a so-called invasive species.

Computer Games
This film covers the topic of computer games in a variety of ways and from many different angles. Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described. The established genres are introduced, the guidelines of the German BPjM are explained. In light of recent public discussions, a neutral overview of the pros and cons of playing computer games is given, and different kinds of player behaviour are outlined. In this film, the pupils will recognise many aspects of their favourite pastime that encourage an independent, constructive use of this medium and reinforce their media competency. The film and teaching material are very closely related to the real-life situation.
