Seltene Erden
Gewinnung, Produktion, Wiederverwertung
Der technische Fortschritt versorgt die Menschheit zuverlässig mit innovativer Technologie. Dies hat die Nachfrage nach spezifischen Rohstoffen, etwa für Mikrochips, Rußpartikelfilter, und Dauermagneten sprunghaft steigen lassen. Metalle wie Lithium, Cer, Neodym und weitere gehören zu den sogenannten „Seltenen Erden“. Der Bedarf nach ihnen hat große geopolitische Auswirkungen, und hat zum Aufstieg Chinas, das den Großteil der Lagerstätten auf seinem Gebiet birgt, entscheidend beigetragen.
Der Film geht der geopolitischen Bedeutung der Seltenen Erden ebenso nach, wie er deren Verwendung und Gewinnung zeigt.
Abschließend werden Möglichkeiten gezeigt, den Bedarf an Seltenen Erden (und damit eine strategische Abhängigkeit von China) durch effektives Recycling zu reduzieren.
In Verbindung mit dem umfangreichen Zusatzmaterial (Arbeitsblätter, interaktive Aufgaben, Glossar, Testfragen) lässt sich das Medium hervorragend im Unterricht verwenden.

Pupils Practise Inclusion
When people come together, no matter under what concomitant circumstances – ultimately, it is about how these people meet and how openly they interact with one another.
Air Traffic
Being able to fly has been a dream of humanity from time immemorial. But it does not even date back a century that people actually started being able to travel through the air. Since the 1960s, the number of flight passengers has been constantly increasing. Thus, the airspace is no longer dominated by birds but by man-made flying objects.
Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
