What is the Scoville Chili scale?

It is a scale of how hot the chilis are it has different colors so green is the lowest and red is the hottest there are colors in between like orange and yellow as well.

The chili that we tasted is  the hottest chili in the world, Carolina Reaper. I found out that water does not help make your mouth not so hot. I think by using Coke I would be able to remove the spiciness from my mouth.

 100 word Challenge

Today in class we are doing the 100 word challenge our teacher gives us a picture and we have to write 100 words about no more then 100 words or less then 100 words.

Here is the picture I am writing about:

One day there was a hockey team, training for an upcoming tournament. When one of the people hit the other team mate on the leg and made it snap in half he had to get rushed to the hospital where they tried to put it back into the right place he had to have surgery to get it fixed and then he could not play hockey for whole year which he did not like because he loved hockey. When he was able to play hockey again the other team mates set up a welcome back party and made a really big apology.

Thank you for reading my story bye for now
