The Secret life of Plants
In collaboration with Qatar National Museum, Grade 6 students at Swiss International School Qatar have produced a magazine to preserve oral medical traditions and cultural practices. They also create ethical cosmetics and explore how football stadiums could feed hungry people. We are only young scientists so we do welcome feedback. This is a magazine written by children for children so there will be mistakes. Errata: Zaid's name is misspelled. The author is named Zade.

Why precautions must be taken<br />
Excessive and consistent testing is the first step before<br />
releasing a drug so the testing is done out in labs and on<br />
experimental animals so that is one bad thing testing<br />
defenseless animals. Researchers put in a lot <strong>of</strong> research to<br />
find medication options and test their effectiveness, safety<br />
to ensure that only the safest drugs are released and are<br />
able to move on to the next stage. This stage needs heavy<br />
experimentation, analysis, and careful inspection. <strong>The</strong>se are<br />
the basis for more studies and give important information<br />
about the benefits and dangers <strong>of</strong> a medicine. <br />
<strong>The</strong> chemicals are also something that have to be carefully<br />
looked at before any drug is released not just because<br />
“chemicals are bad” but also out <strong>of</strong> safety, for example you<br />
have two patients and both have different health problems<br />
for example the people both have diabetic problems and one<br />
has high blood sugar and one low, you are tasked with giving<br />
the daily medication to the people you give the man with low<br />
blood sugar insulin and this will put a spike in his blood<br />
sugar, this is a common effect <strong>of</strong> insulin, and you use the<br />
same syringe to give the man with high blood pressure a<br />
beta-blocker and this will lower his blood sugar but using<br />
the same syringe the remnants <strong>of</strong> the insulin can also kick<br />
up the blood sugar enough to be a problem.<br />
Ensuring Safe Use and getting rid <strong>of</strong> deadly disadvantages:<br />
Prescription medications have an important purpose <strong>of</strong><br />
bringing us many health advantages when taken exactly as<br />
prescribed. However, excessive intake could lead to<br />
negative impacts like organ damage, toxicity or even deadly<br />
allergic reactions. so, restricting excessive drug intake<br />
becomes critical as it prevents potentially unsafe sideeffects<br />
due to the amount <strong>of</strong> chemicals being consumed.<br />
For example if you give someone an overdose <strong>of</strong> any pill and<br />
anything 5 or above is then considered polypharmacy and<br />
this basically means an overdose <strong>of</strong> a prescription on any<br />
medication but in numbers the overdose is considered 5<br />
pills or above.<br />
Why must we limit the amount <strong>of</strong> medication we take?
