Should We Go Mars?

 Hey Guys 

Today I am going to be showing you my writing about if we should go and live In Mars and my writing is about why we shouldn't go instead of why we should go to Mars because I think that it is a bad idea to go to Mars and I have lots of good points that make me never wan't to go to Mars. But if you still wan't to go to Mars after this then I would be surprised.

Here is My writing 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why We Shouldn't Go To Mars 

I think that we should not live on Mars. Because of the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. How would you get food? You would need enough for 26 months! And water as well. And also it will be super hard to grow plants for food. These are my points that I am going to be telling you about. So continue reading and you will see the points. 


There is 95.3% of carbon dioxide on Mars so being out in the air for 2 minutes will take all of the carbon dioxide from your blood cells. That means in the two minutes time you will be dead so if you wanted to go outside you would need to be wearing a spacesuit.  Your shelter would need to have airlock doors so no carbon dioxide could get inside of the shelter.


You need food to survive. So how would you get the food? One person will need about 5 tons of food to last 26 months on mars and plants can’t grow there. First of all the plants will die because of all the carbon dioxide in the air and the plants would need water and there is only a little bit of water flow under all the ice caps. Otherwise just for two people you would need to bring on the rocket 10 tons of food just for two people. And don’t forget about the water you would need to bring enough water for 26 months and water is really heavy and you would need water to even try growing plants.


Dust Storms happen a lot on Mars. Because the whole planet is a big desert and their dust storms can last for 2 months. The dust storm can cover the whole planet so no way to escape fr that if it is covering the whole planet. So then  you would probably have to stay inside throughout the whole storm and that could be for 2 months.


The temperature is really cold on Mars so you would need to have your shelter really warm. Also how would you get electricity to heat the shelter? It would be hard to get electricity, a solution to that is if you used solar panels. But  the dust storm would make it hard to get power in the middle of the storm.  But the temperature can be -125 to -193 and that is super cold. I wouldn’t want to be in that temperature. And because of the freezing temperatures most of the water (if there was any) would freeze straight away so you would need to keep your water warm so it wouldn’t freeze.  


Overall it is a bad idea to go and live on  Mars because food would be hard to bring and it is almost impossible to grow food on planet Mars.  Water is really heavy and also hard to bring over to Mars and there is barely any water on the planet, only a little bit of water flow. And  Mars can get super cold also. Mars has lots of dust storms and they can last up to 2 months so I think people shouldn’t live on Mars.

I hope you liked my writing and considered that going to Mars is a bad idea

Chilli Tasting Experiment

 Hey Guys 

Chilli  Tasting Experiment 

Aim p To see which is the best way to cool down the hot chilli taste in your mouth when eating chilli.

Hypothesis - I think that by using milk I will be able to remove the hot chilli taste from my mouth.

Equipment 

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 with your group so that everyone has the same results 

2. Each Member of the team needs to have their own tasting cup. This will be used for putting the different liquids in as we cool off the chilli in our mouths

3. Place a piece of chilli in your mouth.

4.You will drink the liquid that you have in your cup. As you do this you will complete a results chart 


Chilli Tasting Results

Record : Yes or No



Immediately

After 3 minutes

Milk

Yes

Yes

Water

No

No

Coca Cola

No

Yes


Summary And Results 

The milk did not work immediately After 3 minutes it had a small effect

The coke had a small effect immediately coke had no effect after 3 minutes

The water did not work immediately The water did not stop the chilli after 3 minutes   

Conclusion 

Milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods ------ Literally That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsicum an oily chemical compound in chilli peppers Capsicum  binds to a receipter in the tongue and creates a burning sensation. Casein protein found from in the milk can also bind to the capsicum and wash it away.

5. How dose it work 

The number of Scoville Heat Units (SHU) in a pepper or even hot sauce indicates the amount of capsaicin present. The higher the Scoville rating, the hotter the pepper.
