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.

Around 5.3 million children in the world have ADHD.<br />
Children with ADHD <strong>of</strong>ten struggle with school, are<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten injured more than normal kids and are socially<br />
isolated. <strong>The</strong> medications that doctors use to help<br />
these children have side effects. I strongly believe<br />
that plants can help children with ADHD through<br />
either the calming effects <strong>of</strong> planting or the<br />
medicinal benefits <strong>of</strong> herbs themselves.(Marketing<br />

What is ADHD?<br />
ADHD is one <strong>of</strong> the most common neurological<br />
disorders in children. It affects up to 8.7% <strong>of</strong> children<br />
and <strong>of</strong>ten continues into adulthood. It is usually<br />
diagnosed in early childhood. Now, you may be asking<br />
“what does neurological mean” - well let me tell you<br />
that I didn't know either but now I do because my<br />
mom, who is a neurologist, explained to me that<br />
anything neurological has to do with the nervous<br />
system like the brain, spinal cord or nerves. (CDC)<br />
ADHD is serious. It has many symptoms and two <strong>of</strong> them are:<br />
Inattentiveness & Hyperactivity.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se can lead to many things; let's start with Inattentiveness:<br />
● Having limited focus and getting frequently distracted<br />
● Making careless mistakes, such as in homework<br />
● Being unable to stick with difficult or time-consuming tasks<br />
● Being unable to listen or follow instructions<br />
● Having difficulty arranging tasks<br />
Now let's move onto hyperactivity and impulsiveness:<br />
● being unable to sit still, particularly in peaceful or quiet settings<br />
● unable to focus on work because <strong>of</strong> common fidgeting<br />
● too much moving around,<br />
● too much chatting<br />
● not being able to wait their turn<br />
● behaving quickly<br />
● interrupting conversations<br />
● no or little awareness <strong>of</strong> danger
