Small Amazing Creatures
Ameisen sind Insekten und gehören zu den Gliederfüßern. Das bedeutet, der Körper dieser Tiergruppe ist stets in drei deutlich erkennbare Abschnitte gegliedert: Kopf, Brust und Hinterleib. Man schätzt, dass es über 15.000 verschiedene Arten Ameisen auf der Welt gibt. Man findet sie überall: von den heißen Tropen bis zum kalten Polarkreis, von hohen Gipfeln bis den Wüsten – es ist das erfolgreichste Insekt der Erde. Die Ameisen haben viele unterschiedliche Wohnorte, aber am bekanntesten ist bei uns der Ameisenhaufen. Er ist etwa einen Meter hoch und mindestens genauso tief. Im Ameisenhaufen leben alle Ameisen, die Königin, ihre Arbeiterinnen, die männlichen Ameisen und alle Larven. Ameisen verständigen sich mit einer Antennensprache, legen Duftwege und können sich die Richtung der Sonne merken. Die Waldameisen fressen gerne Raupen, kleine Spinnen, Insekten und Fliegen. Ihre Hauptfeine sind der Specht und der Schmetterling. Wenn sich die Ameisen bedroht fühlen, verspritzen sie Ameisensäure.

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
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.
Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century. Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
