The chili pepper, from Nahuatl chīlli, is the berry-fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum which
 are members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Chili peppers are widely used in many
 cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes.

  • Carolina Reaper 2,200,000 
  • Trinidad Moruga Scorpion 2,009,231 
  • 7 Pot Douglah 1,853,936 
  • 7 Pot Primo 1,469,000 
  • Trinidad Scorpion “Butch T” 1,463,700 
  • Naga Viper 1,349,000 

 To see with is the best way to cool down the hot chilies taste in your mouth when eating chilli. I think that
 by using milk sour cram and other dairy products I will be able to remove the hot chilli taste from your
 mouth. We will be using Milk, water, coca cola, tasting cups and chilli.

Summary and Results:

Milk had a small effect on the chilli. After three minutes it took the whole taste away 

Coke had a small effect on the chilli. Cook worked well after 3 minutes and removed the taste totally

Water did not remove the chilli taste at all. After 3 minutes it removed the taste slightly 

Milk would be the most effective drink to use with spicy , chilli food 

Conclusion 

Milk could be a solution when eating spicy food-literally. That's because milk help your mouth handle capsaicin, an oi;y chemical in chilli peppers. Capsaicin blinds 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

Australian Bush fires

 Did you know that over 3 billion animals have died in the Australian bush fires?

fire burnt 72,000 kilometres of forest.

The fires costed Australia $103 million.

 The fires started on June 2019 and finished around May 2020.

 There were about 3,700 fire fighters needed in Australia for the fires and 75 people had died.

 In a total 445 people died and 4,000 people had to go to hospital for injures and also because had breathed in to much of the smoke.

The main reason is because of globe warming, lighting and from people littering.

The wild bush fires happened in around north east of Australia.

The fires had badly effaced Australians and billions of animal lives .

People all over the world had to help out with the fires.

I learnt that billion animals lives were lost next time I would love to learn about how everybody who lost there home in the fires and how the are living now I hope you really liked my piece  on the Australian bush fires and did you learn anything from this.
