 Aim: To see which is the best way to cool the hot chilli taste in your mouth when eating chilli.

Hypothesis: I think that by using milk i will be able to remove the hot chilli taste from my mouth.

Equipment:

1. milk

2. water 

3. Coca Cola 

4. tasting cup

5. Chilli

    

Method: 

1. You will work in groups of three for this experiment. Each person in the group will use of the drinks with the chilli. You will then swap results in your group so that everyone has the same results.

2. Each members of the group needs to have their own tasting cup. This will be used for putting the different liquids in as we cool off the chilli in our mouths.

3 Place a piece of chilli in your mouth.

4. You will be drink the liquid that you have in your cup. As you do this you will complete a results chart.

Summary and Results:

The milk did not work immediately. After 3 minutes it had a small effect

The Coke had a small effect immediately. Coke had no effect after 3 minutes 

The water did not work immediately. The water did not stop the chilli after 3 minutes 

Conclusion 

Milk could be a solution to eating spicy-foods literally. That's because milk helps your mouth handle Capscaicin, an oily chemical compound in chilli peppers. Capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation. Casein protein in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away

how to sleep

 

Sleep

I learnt that sleep helps me by giving me energy for the next day. And did u you know that when you are sleeping your brain starts doing a lot of stuff, like locks up your important stuff like your password and other stuff?

When I sleep it feels like we have been sleeping for only one hour. It's pretty weird, but when you wake up in the middle of the night like 1:00 am and then sleep after it feels like you have been sleeping for ages. Did you know that 12 percent of people dream entirely in black and white? Humans spend 1/3  of their life sleeping.
