In 8th grade, math students worked with Scientific Notation by doing the Scoville Heat Units Lab. Students tested a variety of salsas, used a sugar water solution to dissipate the pepper's heat and collected the data.
The sugar water solution was measured in drops, therefore, really hot peppers have quite large numbers. Because of this, those numbers are often written in scientific notation, which is why the measurement is named Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The data will then be averaged within their group and shared to compare against the whole group.
