Hot Chilli

Aim:

I want to find out the best way to cool down your tongue after eating hot chilli. 


Research:




Method:

Equipment 
  • Hot Chilli Sauce
  • Popsicle stick 
  • Drinks - Soda, Water, Milk 
  • Timer

instructions
  1. Get your equipment ready.
  2. Get a drop of hot sauce on your Popsicle stick. 
  3. Lick the Hot Chilli sauce.
  4. Start the timer. 
  5. After 2mins, drink your drink. 
  6. After 5mins, how hot is your mouth? 
  7. Repeat the experiment but with a different drink. 

discussion:

why does chilli burn your mouth?

peppers contain alkaline,  a oil-based molecule called capsaicin, which makes the temperature-sensitive pain  receptors in your mouth and produces the heat.
