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.

Now noise cancellation, headphones that are designed to<br />

make your environment quieter can help but not everyone<br />

has them. So noise barriers will help, in 2010 a noise<br />

barrier cost 32 dollars per foot (“Noise Barrier<br />

Construction Average Unit Cost by Year - Summary -<br />

Inventory - Noise Barriers - Noise - Environment - FHWA”),<br />

these could be helpful as some people have sensitive ears<br />

or are very young. For the pitch I could use Platinum Te, as<br />

it is very durable, shade tolerant, and can regenerate<br />

fastly. (Holmes)<br />

<strong>The</strong> outside <strong>of</strong> the stadium needs to be nice, and<br />

lightweight. <strong>The</strong> design <strong>of</strong> the stadium was decided by my<br />

personal studies class. <strong>The</strong> shape <strong>of</strong> the stadium is a tree<br />

(the sides), the bark is from the oak tree (the texture <strong>of</strong><br />

the sides), and the leaves are from the birch tree (it’s the<br />

texture <strong>of</strong> the dome on top <strong>of</strong> the stadium). <strong>The</strong> tree would<br />

be made out <strong>of</strong> aluminum and it would be bent and<br />

scratched to look like tree bark, the leaves will get the<br />

same treatment. I could use the design <strong>of</strong> the tree and<br />

that it is higher than the inside stadium, and make it so<br />

that the rainwater could be given to the animals or plants<br />

in the stadium. Also, the garden and zoo have to be in the<br />

stadium so I could use reused containers like the 974<br />

stadium with some oak wood embedded in the containers.<br />

For the boxes at the top <strong>of</strong> the stadium (for<br />

commentaries, VIPs, match <strong>of</strong>ficials), I could do something<br />

like a design from the movie Jurassic World, from the t-rex<br />

enclosure (27:00 min). For the animals I could have small<br />

reptiles (lizards, snakes, chameleons, tortoises, and<br />

turtles), insects (beetles, bees, ants, spiders), or small<br />

mammals (possums, mice, rats).<br />

<strong>The</strong> weight <strong>of</strong> a 45,000 seater stadium is around<br />

15,000-20,000 using Lusail stadium (“Lusail Stadium –<br />

StadiumDB.com”), but Lusail stadium doesn’t use<br />

magnesium alloy but steel (“Steel Used in 2022 FIFA World<br />

Cup Qatar”). That means that the stadium would be<br />

lighter. I will make a model <strong>of</strong> the stadium with the feature<br />

that it can open inside and you can take everything out and<br />

put it on a boat. <strong>The</strong> end stadium is equipped with light<br />

metals, hard floors, cheap but durable seats, very durable<br />

and fastly growing grass, a mini zoo and garden for income<br />

and food, and a spectacular design that catches the<br />

rainwater and reuses it to save money from water bills.
