 Aim:

I want to find out how to get rid of burning chilli off my tongue.

Research:

Find a funny video of eating chilli


Find a video about the science of chilli


Method:

Equipment
  • Coke
  • Chilli
  • Popsicle
  • Water
  • Coca-cola
  • Timer
  • Cup

Instructions

  1. Get your equipment.
  2. Scoop some chilli onto your stick.
  3. start your timer and eat the chilli.
  4. stop the timer after 4 minutes.
  5. Rate how hot you mouth is.
  6. do experiment again but drink water after 2 minutes drink water.
  7. do the experiment again but drink coca-cola.
  8. drink milk


Results:  (4 minutes each)

The first chilli i did was without water and i am scoring it a 10/10 for burning.

the second time, i did was with water and i am scoring it a 8/10

the third time i did was with coco cola and i'm scoring it a 9/10 (but i thinks its because i did more)

The last time i did it was with milk and i'm scoring it a 5/10

Discussion: 

Why does chilli burn your mouth? 

it contains an alkaline, oil-based molecule called capsaicin, which sneakily triggers the temperature-sensitive pain receptors in your mouth/taste buds 

why does the milk reduce the burn? 

it helps your mouth handle capsaicin, Capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation. ... Since capsaicin is fat-soluble, rinsing with milk fat helps ease the burn
