Ducks
Appearance, Behaviours, Species
Ducks are our best-known water birds. You can watch them on almost any large body of water. Although we come across them frequently, most of us know very little about the lives of ducks. But it is worth our while to look at them more closely. Ducks, geese and swans, too, are counted among the family of Anatidae. But how is a duck distinguished from a goose or a swan? Ducks are small in comparison to their relatives. Depending on the species, they are pigeon or chicken sized. Their necks are mostly shorter than those of swans or geese. The duck’s bill is broad and flat in many species. And often the males of the ducks – contrary to geese or swans – are gaudily coloured.

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.
