The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school

The 14th Dalai Lama
He is considered one of the best-known personalities of our time and has been the Tibetans’ spiritual leader for more than 50 years. The Dalai Lama – His views are inspiration to many. The tradition of the Dalai Lamas reaches back to the 15th century. Dalai Lama is a Mongolian title of honour and was first bestowed on a Tibetan Buddhist monk in 1578 by the Mongol ruler at the time. This monk was called Gyatso, which means sea of wisdom. Dalai is the Mongolian translation of this name and lama is a Tibetan word for monk. Up to now the title has been conferred on 14 Tibetan monks, to the first two only posthumously.

Musical Instruments
Music is an important element of our environment as well as of human culture. By listening attentively, pupils will obtain a finer perception of their musical environment and its structure, which is to support them in finding out and cultivating their own preferences in music. Part of this is also to be able to appreciate, describe and classify musical instruments. The DVD presents all members of the group of wind in- struments, subdivided into woodwind and brass instruments, describes their sound and how they are played and provides suitable audio samples. This DVD and the didactically arranged accompanying mate- rial are perfectly suited for the classroom both for a focus on single instruments and for an introduction to the topic „Lis- tening to music - Experiencing Musical Instruments“.

Neuronen
Was wir fühlen, wie wir reagieren, das wird gesteuert durch die Nervenbahnen unseres Gehirns. In dem Film wird das Nervensystem dargestellt und der Aufbau der einzelnen Nervenzellen erläutert. Welche Übertragungswege ein Reiz nimmt und auf welchen Wegen eine Reaktion ausgelöst wird, wird in anschaulichen Grafiken gezeigt.

Invertebrates
The term “invertebrates” was coined by the French zoologist and botanist Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck in the early 19th century. He was the first to address the classification of the then so-called “lower animals” and divided them into different categories and classes.

Structure of the Forest
Forests are more than an accumulation of trees. The individual tree is more than a valuable source of wood. From its roots to its crown, it offers habitats to a variety of the most different creatures. The older a tree, the more valuable it becomes to many forest inhabitants. And even in death it is still full of life. If you take a closer look at a forest, you notice that the plants grow to different heights. They form storeys like those of a house. At the top level there are only the big trees. From a bird’s perspective we see that the highest specimens in the forest form a closed canopy. In summer, the treetops resemble big parasols shading the forest floor. Depending upon how much sunlight filters into the depths, this has consequences for the forest vegetation.

Mushrooms
This DVD offers a clearly structured survey of mushrooms with an emphasis on the following aspects: Mushrooms of different shapes and colours present their fruit bodies. The reproduction by means of spores is shown with different kinds of mushrooms. The actual mushroom is formed by hyphae in the ground. The symbiosis between mushroom and tree is called mycorrhiza. Mushrooms can be poisons or medicines, as is illustrated by the examples of ergot and the birch polypore. Mildews and slime moulds are examples of the decomposing effects of mushrooms. In the fermentation of yeast plants, sugar is transformed into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Lichens are extremely adaptable. Under the electron-scan microscope, we can see how algae and mushroom hyphae form a complex symbiosis. Finally, rules and recommendations for gathering mushrooms are provided. Outstanding shots (with impressive fast-motion pictures and animations) give the pupils a comprehensive overview of the characteristics of mushrooms.

The Common Buzzard
The common buzzard is a well-known native bird of prey. You can often see it flying above fields or sitting by the roadside. But what are the typical characteristics and behaviour patterns of the common buzzard? The film covers the biological classification of the common buzzard, its characteristics and behaviour. The origin of its name is explained just as the classic characteristics, by means of which the common buzzard can be identified. We can see the common buzzard in its natural habitat, learn something about its hunting methods and its prey. Spectacular pictures show carrion crows and magpies, which “mob” the common buzzard as a direct rival for food. The hunter becomes the hunted. The reproduction of the common buzzard is covered, too. We observe the buzzard couple during nest-building and breeding. We accompany the chicks when they train their flight muscles and make their first attempts at flying. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, this medium is perfectly suitable to get to know and appreciate our native common buzzard!

Basics of Biology III
What is the importance and function of enzymes? The lock-and-key principle is explained and, based on amylase and katalase, the dependence of reaction speed and intensity of effect on temperature and pH-value can be seen. With microscopic pictures and graphs the structure of animal cells is explained. But their appearance is very different depending on their functions. Nerve cells differ from blood cells just like the latter from sperm cells. A tissue is a combination of many cells that perform specific functions in the body. Any kind of growth of an organism is only possible when new cells are created. The process of cell division is called mitosis. This is then differentiated from the multiplication of reproductive cells, as in them the number of chromosomes must be reduced to half. Impressive shots and graphs illustrate these processes. Together with the extensive accompanying material the DVD is ideally suited for use in the classroom.
