This is an activity about our sense of smell and how it compares to sharks' super noses. Learners will create varying solutions of water and perfume.

In this activity, learners explore how their sense of smell affects their taste buds. Learners taste different flavored jelly beans while holding their nose.

In this activity, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.

Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

Young learners investigate and observe the properties of three liquids -- water, vegetable oil, and corn syrup. They use their senses to collect data and ask and answer questions.

In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

In this activity, learners cook amino acids and sugar to explore the range of aromas released.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore how the nose is responsible for part of the flavor we taste in food.

In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

In "Chemistry Makes Scents," participants use their noses to distinguish between chemicals with very similar structures.

This activity introduces learners to wolf behavior and communication.

In this activity, learners will use their nose to sniff out hidden scents using extracts and cotton balls. Activity includes materials list, game instructions, STEM connections and more.
