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 sticks
• 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 2 minutes drink your drink.
6. After 5 mins, how hot is your mouth?
7. Repeat the experiment but with a different drink. 

Results: 

I didn't do the experiment because I don't like sauces, I typed up peoples opinions in results. 

The first chilli was okay, we did it without any drinks and I am scoring it a 7 for burning

The second chilli was hotter than the first one, I rated it a 8.5 but after drinking water 

The third chilli wasn't that bad, I rated it a 4 after drinking coke it didn't really effect anything. 

The last one was not that bad since I got used to it i rated it a 2, but after drinking milk the chilli settled down. 

Discussion: 

Why does chilli burn your mouth? 

When you eat the chilli, capsaicin goes into your saliva and sticks on to the TRPV1 receptors (a protein in the human gene which has many variations), after this it triggers the receptors and sends off a signal to your brain which makes it think that your mouth is burning. 

Why does milk reduce the burn?

Drama - Maui and The Fish Tableaus

 Hello everyone! 

during drama we made 3 tableaus from the story Maui and The fish. Tableaus are motionless actions (freeze frames) that represent a scene, for our tableaus we needed the first middle and end of the story. 

Our group decided for our first scene we were gonna do the hut scene in the story (the 4 brothers talking behind Maui's back). for the middle scene we did Maui leading the boat scene and for our last scene we made the scene when Maui caught the huge stingray and his brothers dug up the fish and made it all rugged. 

Scene One 

Scene Two 

Scene Three 

For scene one we used great height and levels, for scene two we used emotions and different levels and for scene three we used physicality and different levels as well! 

My favourite Drama game overall was when we had to say our name when we passed the ball to someone without dropping it. 

I hate being in photos but I had to have my face in them because of insecurities but thank you for viewing my blog have a good day/night ciao! <3
