Natural Gas
Reserves, Extraction, Use
It provides heat for radiators and for cooking, generates electricity and even drives cars: natural gas is an important energy resource – worldwide, and also here in Germany. More than 20 per cent of the energy demand in Germany is covered by natural gas. During combustion, natural gas releases a lot of energy in the form of heat. This makes it an important energy source for the production of heat and electricity. On a global scale, natural gas is one of the most important energy sources, after petroleum and coal. But it is also used as a raw material in the chemical industry and as a fuel for vehicles. In the energy mix with the regenerative energy sources sun, wind and water, natural gas is of great significance. But what exactly is natural gas and how is it extracted?

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.
