Scoville heat units, also known as SHU is simply a measurement of the number of times capsaicin needs to be diluted by sugar-water. 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.

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

3. place the chilli in your mouth 

4. after 10 seconds you will drink the liquid that you have in your cups. As you can do this you will complete a results chart
