Geologic Activities
Volcanoes, Geysers, Continental Plates
The formation of our earth began according to today’s knowledge from a huge cloud of dust and gases about 4.6 billion years ago.
Very vividly and clearly structured, the film depicts plate tectonics on the outer cooled earth shell. The continental plates drift apart, collide or push past each other.
Numerous spectacular shots from Iceland show the earth’s activity in action.
In some places, the enormous heat from deep within the Earth is conducted outward as if through a valve. Volcanoes are formed where the hot viscous rock from the interior of the earth reaches the outside.
Geysers and hot springs are formed because water is heated underground by volcanic activity and then makes its way to the surface through a maze of cracks and crevices.
In combination with the extensive additional material (worksheets, interactive tasks), this medium can be used excellently in the classroom.
In the detailed data section of the DVD 91 pages of teaching and accompanying material, of which:
26 pages of worksheets and supplements with solutions
17 test tasks
10 interactive tasks
Curriculum-centred and oriented towards educational standards

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
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
Inclusion
Madita is eleven and blind. She does not want to go to a special school but to a regular grammar school. She says she feels "normal" there. Jonathan is eight and has a walking disability. He likes going to the school where he lives. Here, his best friend sits next to him. Max Dimpflmeier, a teacher who is severely deaf, explains that school life is not easy. Quote Max Dimpflmeier: "You don't want to attract attention, you want to avoid saying that it is necessary for you that 70 people adjust to your situation." People on their way to inclusion.
