Deciphering the Code of Life
Life on Earth assumes a large variety of shapes. There is plant life and animal life. Protozoa live alongside human beings, ants alongside fish and elephants, a blowball alongside a cactus. At first glance, the creatures living on Earth do not seem to have much in common. There are various manifestations of life in terms of characteristics and appearance. Is it possible that this impression is wrong? Is there something that all these creatures have in common in their internal structure? This is hard to believe if you compare a plant with an animal. Let’s take a look at two more creatures: an ape and a human being – what do these two species have in common? It is easy to find some differences and some similarities. Monkeys and humans have a similar body structure and similar limbs. In spite of that, we can clearly distinguish an ape from a human being. Where do these similarities and differences come from? Genetics provides answers to these questions. It is the science of heredity. The term “genetics” stems from the ancient Greek word “genesis” – “origin”.

Podcasting
Today, the use of new media has become a matter of course not only in everyday life – schools and teaching, too, benefit from the new technologies and methods, which support active and independent learning. Especially in computer science, ethics and language courses but also in all other subjects, modern media are a valuable pedagogic and didactic asset. This DVD uses the example of podcasts to demonstrate how the possibilities opened up by new media can be applied in the classroom and how the pupils can be taught to handle them in a competent and target-oriented manner. The film is aimed at supporting the use of podcasts at school and encourages making them. This also requires the ability to find information on the Internet and assess it. The film informs on the functionality of podcasts and technical background as well as on the teaching and learning possibilities offered by podcasts – ranging from specific contents to superordinate learning targets such as the advancement of creativity and team spirit.
