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

Hypothesis: I think that by using Milk I will be able to remove the hot chili taste from my mouth.

Equitment: 

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 one of the drinks with the chilli. You will then swap results in your group so that everyone has the same results.
2. Each member 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 your mouths.
3. Place a piece of the chilli in your mouth.
4. After 10 seconds you will drink the liquid that you have in your cup. As you do this you will complete a results chart.

You will be recording the following using Yes or No

• The effectiveness of the liquid immediately.
• The effectiveness of the liquid after 10 seconds
