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.

What is Kohl?<br />
Kohl is an ancient eye cosmetic, it is<br />
traditionally made by grinding stibnite that<br />
makes use <strong>of</strong> charcoal mascara. It’s commonly<br />
used in the Middle East, Caucasus, North Africa,<br />
South Asia, West Africa and the Horn <strong>of</strong> Africa.<br />
It’s mostly worn by women, but as well as some<br />
men and children. Sadly, several studies have<br />
questioned the safety <strong>of</strong> Kohl and due to the<br />
dangers <strong>of</strong> lead poisoning.<br />
Kohl is Sunnah in Islam since the Prophet wore<br />
kohl made from antimony and said it is good for<br />
the eyes. But some Kohl today are not good for<br />
the eyes because it is made <strong>of</strong> poisonous lead<br />
instead <strong>of</strong> antimony, so wearing it may not be<br />
sunnah<br />
Kohl comes from a plant called<br />
Brassica which grows with cabbages.<br />
Brassica produces Kohlrabi which is<br />
the Kohl. It is a plant that doesn’t need<br />
deep soil so we can grow it at school..
