Fossils
Formation and Places of Discovery
Is it possible for a stone to tell us a story about what animals and plants used to be there in former times? And “former times” does not mean a few centuries but millions of years. Such witnesses of a time period as these petrified animals are called fossils. And they can show us today what the creatures looked like back then, when they were turned into stone millions of years ago. Even if the species themselves have long been extinct. But there’s more. With the help of the many fossils that humans have meanwhile found on Earth – actually mainly below ground – we can also explore what the environment these animals used to live in must have looked like once.

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.
