School is back in session in many places, but the coronavirus remains a threat. This short instructional film from Switzerland explains to children how they can protect themselves and each other, and reminds them about the rules for washing their hands and saying hello.

The animated series Little Nick is based on a children's book written by René Goscinny, the author of the Asterix comics. In the first part, Nick and his friends are in the schoolyard and find themselves in one of those situations most of us will know all too well.

The next day at recess, the boys share their ideas for the teacher's gift: From a fur coat to a pony, they come up with all sorts of things! Everyone puts in as much money as they can, and then it's off to shop.

The boys fight over who gets to hand over the figurines to the teacher. One of the figurines ends up broken, but the other survives thanks to Chlodwig's athleticism and bravery. In the end, however, everything turns out differently than planned!

Nick was looking forward to enjoying his day off school, but it turns out his mother has other plans for him.

A long afternoon lies ahead for Nick and Adalbert, and they really don't have much in common. Will they find something fun to do? Adalbert already has an idea, which at first seems rather daunting...

Adalbert's mother thought it was a good idea to give the children a chemistry set – that is, something educational — to play with. But her plan backfires when Nick and Adalbert end up causing quite a bit of trouble!

“Rosetta,” a space probe launched by the European Space Agency in 2004, took over 12 years to reach her destination: a faraway comet hurtling through space. This animated short retells her epic journey in the form of a fairy tale.

Because they raise so many questions, celestial bodies have always fascinated humankind. Various probes — including Rosetta and her “little brother” Philae — have been sent into space to gather more information. This video presents the probes as courageous and curious figures in a whimsical fairy tale.

Rosetta and Philae were ready for their biggest challenge yet: Philae’s landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. When Rosetta said goodbye to her lander and released it onto the comet's surface, the whole world watched in suspense to see what would happen next.

Rosetta tells us about what she learned during her first year studying comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko — and Philae, asleep on the comet itself, finally wakes up from his hibernation!

These days, a lot of people are paying attention to their carbon footprint. Drinking straws are no longer made of plastic, toothbrushes are made of wood, and we're happy to forego that domestic flight to Munich for a long weekend—all for the sake of the environment. But there's one person who doesn't care: Felix, a rabbit from a children's TV series.

Jannika from "ZDF Magazin Royale" has to give Felix the Rabbit a piece of her mind. All of his traveling is no longer sustainable given its impact on climate change!

In Part I of this episode, which deals with human birth, we start with the Big Bang and follow a troop of sperm as they make their way to the ovum.

One lucky sperm has made it into the egg – now the chromosomes from the sperm and the egg can start to link up.
