Scent Test
30min
SMARTboard Presentation:
The teacher will go through some parts of the nose that help
with scent (nostrils, nasal cavity, olfactory bulb), how our nose
can keep us safe, and the different categories of smells.
SMARTboard Notes:
We smell using our noses. Everyone in our class has a
nose with two nostrils. Human noses all look very
similar, but there are many different kinds of ways to
smell.
Some animals use a snout, like the pig. Some animals
use a trunk, like the elephant. Some animals use a
forked tongue to smell with, like the snake. Some
insects, like the butterfly, the fly and the moth use their
antenna and sometimes their feet to smell with.
Scents travel through our nasal cavity and send signals
to the olfactory bulb. Can you see in this picture that
our nose is also connected to our throat? That is why
sometimes when we drink something and laugh really
hard, it comes out of our nose! Theyre connected.
Our noses are packed with tiny hairs that help act like
bodyguards to keep dirt and dust out of our nose. Our
noses also create snot to help get rid of any yucky stuff
that might have gotten past our hairy bodyguards, and
entered into our bodies.
Each person has his or her individual smell...we smell
different from one another. It is a bit like a fingerprint. I
suppose you could call it a "smell print."
There are many different kinds of scents. I will go
through the 10 categories or types of scents that I know.
1. Fragrant: The research team lumped fragrant
smells in with perfumery, floral, cologne, and
rosy smells. Fragrant scents are the ones that
seem light and natural, what is typically
described by perfume and cologne
