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 make your environment quieter can help but not everyone has them. So noise barriers will help, in 2010 a noise barrier cost 32 dollars per foot (“Noise Barrier Construction Average Unit Cost by Year - Summary - Inventory - Noise Barriers - Noise - Environment - FHWA”), these could be helpful as some people have sensitive ears or are very young. For the pitch I could use Platinum Te, as it is very durable, shade tolerant, and can regenerate fastly. (Holmes) The outside of the stadium needs to be nice, and lightweight. The design of the stadium was decided by my personal studies class. The shape of the stadium is a tree (the sides), the bark is from the oak tree (the texture of the sides), and the leaves are from the birch tree (it’s the texture of the dome on top of the stadium). The tree would be made out of aluminum and it would be bent and scratched to look like tree bark, the leaves will get the same treatment. I could use the design of the tree and that it is higher than the inside stadium, and make it so that the rainwater could be given to the animals or plants in the stadium. Also, the garden and zoo have to be in the stadium so I could use reused containers like the 974 stadium with some oak wood embedded in the containers. For the boxes at the top of the stadium (for commentaries, VIPs, match officials), I could do something like a design from the movie Jurassic World, from the t-rex enclosure (27:00 min). For the animals I could have small reptiles (lizards, snakes, chameleons, tortoises, and turtles), insects (beetles, bees, ants, spiders), or small mammals (possums, mice, rats). The weight of a 45,000 seater stadium is around 15,000-20,000 using Lusail stadium (“Lusail Stadium – StadiumDB.com”), but Lusail stadium doesn’t use magnesium alloy but steel (“Steel Used in 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar”). That means that the stadium would be lighter. I will make a model of the stadium with the feature that it can open inside and you can take everything out and put it on a boat. The end stadium is equipped with light metals, hard floors, cheap but durable seats, very durable and fastly growing grass, a mini zoo and garden for income and food, and a spectacular design that catches the rainwater and reuses it to save money from water bills.

The Medical Treasures of Pakistan - Alishba Like her classmate, Zade, Alishba focused on natural medicines as so many people around the world do not access pharmacies or cannot take medication because they have no food. What made her research so touching was that we have many of the plants she mentions in our garden. Malaria is the most common disease in Pakistan and the medical plants help more than the traditional medicine to treat it. The most common medicinal plants used as traditional antimalarial medicine are Alstonia scholaris (blackboard tree), Papaya, and Andrographis paniculata (Green chiretta), they can be easier to use for treatment and don’t have side effects like nausea, vomiting, and headache, dizziness, fatigue, malaise (feeling of discomfort), muscular pain (Myalgia), diarrhea or coughs.
