Ginger Beer!

 Hey readers, This blog is about making ginger beer in science!!!

•  The ginger beer must be drunk over the 6 days
• You must provide your own bottle 

Today we made ginger beer in class. We did this by activating the yeast first by adding sugar to the yeast, putting some ginger and warm water in a cup together. Once we had done this we put it to the side and left it to ferment while we made the rest of the ginger beer. We made the ginger beer in an ice cream container by adding first the sugar, then the water, some lemon juice and lastly the ginger beer bug. Once everything was mixed up we put it in a bottle. It is going to take about 6 days to turn into ginger beer. Mr Palmer is going to keep it in his office for the next week.

Chilli Tasting Experiment

Hey readers,

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

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

Equipment:

1. Milk

2. Water

3. Coke

4. Tasting cup

5. Chili

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 chili in our mouths.

3. Place a piece of chili 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 result 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

Chilli Tasting Results

Record : Yes or No

	Immediately	After 3 minutes
Milk	yes	yes
Water	no	yes
Coca Cola	yes	yes

Summary: 

The milk did work immediately: After 3 minutes it had a small effects.

Coca cola had some effect. After 3 minutes it was gone.

Water did not work immediately. After 3 minutes nope.

Conclusion:

Milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods - literally. That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsaicin,

an oily chemical compound in chili peppers. Capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation

Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away.
