Mais
Anbau, Geschichte, Nutzung
Mais ist eine der ältesten Kulturpflanzen der Welt. Ursprünglich kommt er aus Mittelamerika und war dort als Nahrung unentbehrlich. Christoph Kolumbus hat einige dieser Getreidepflanzen auf seinen Schiffen mit nach Europa genommen, so verbreitete sich die Pflanze recht schnell.
Durch Züchtung wurden die Maiskörner größer und passten sich besser an unser Klima an.
Der Film zeigt Aussehen und Fortpflanzung der Maispflanze und alles über ihren Anbau, aber auch die heutige Nutzung als Lebens- und Futtermittel und das umstrittene Produkt Rohstoff.
Denn seit einigen Jahren braucht man Mais nicht nur für die Ernährung an: Zusammen mit Mist von Schweinen oder Rindern gibt man Mais in Biogasanlagen. Bei diesem Prozess entstehen Gase, in denen viel Energie steckt. Diese liefern je nach Bedarf genug Rohstoff für Strom, Wärme oder Kraftstoffe.
Die Testfragen, das Glossar und die interaktiven Aufgaben wurden mit H5P erstellt und können ohne weitere Software verwendet werden.

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.
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.
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
