Our Solar System
Planets
Looking up at the cloudless night sky is something special. It is a spectacle that we are offered free of charge every clear night. Whether it is the Moon, or the bright planets, or the even more distant stars, or the Milky Way, which crosses the sky like a ribbon – all of them have always interested and fascinated people. In former times, people believed that everything that we see on the sky revolves around the Earth, that we actually live in the centre of the universe. Today we know that our Earth is only one of several planets that revolve around the Sun, and that even the solar system with all its planets is located at the very edge of our galaxy – the large stellar system called Milky Way. And even this giant galaxy is only one among many other galaxies in the universe. So we fly through space on our globe Earth like on a grain of dust – but actually, how have we got there in the first place?

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.

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
