Snails and Their Habitats
Biodiversity and Survival Strategies
They are slow, really slow … they are soft, they are slimy …and greedy.
Most of us look at them with disgust. But snails and their relatives are fascinating, useful animals and true survivors.
Snails and slugs live on land, in freshwater and in the sea. They have been crawling across our planet for more than 500 million years.
The number of species is a matter of estimation. Biologists assume there are up to 100,000. In Germany, their number is limited with about 180 species. Nevertheless, surprisingly little is known about the mode of life of terrestrial snails although some species are very conspicuous.

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.
Blogging
The weblog or blog, for short, as a medium is not much older than this century. Blogs came into being in the World Wide Web as ’messages from below’, as web pages from web creators who wanted to share their view of the world with the world. They are short notes, long texts, pictures, videos, which are posted loosely and at random intervals to the world for an undefined public.
