It’s the food most synonymous with Buffalo- chicken wings, in fact the rest of the world calls them Buffalo wings. You may think wings dipped in blue cheese is a match made in heaven but it’s really a match based in science. In this episode of Compact Science we’ll explore the science of wing sauce from the Scoville Scale to capsaicin zero in on how our bodies react when we taste something spicy.
Check out our Compact Science “Viewer Challenge” where you can try a fun experiment to fool your senses and learn more about how our bodies process information. For instructions and connected learning resources visit: www.wned.org/t...
Geared towards children (grade K-6), their families, and anyone with a curiosity of the world around them, Compact Science episodes frame a scientific concept with a signature regional connection that celebrates the science and history of the Western New York and Southern Ontario region. Journey to Niagara Falls to explore geology, discover the chemistry at work in sponge candy, learn how density is the key to lake-effect snow, investigate the role of friction through the sport of curling, and more.
Compact Science is funded by The Joy Family Foundation.
