Periodic Table
System of the Elements
With the help of the periodic system chemists can predict properties of chemical elements and derive chemical reactions. But you need not be a chemist to understand the periodic system. First of all the question arises: What is a chemical element? Chemists of the past noted here: “A chemical element is a chemical substance that cannot be further broken down into other substances.“ All known substances are formed by these elements. At present (2017) we know 118 elements. The elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 were added most recently in 2016. They belong to the so far 27 elements which cannot be found in nature but are man-made. Many of the remaining 91 elements are found only in the form of chemical compounds in nature, not in their pure form.

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. The DVD is a useful support for teachers applying new media and wishing to show their pupils how to handle Running Time: 20:29 ms them in a sensible way.
