Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

In this activity, learners smell bottles containing bee pheromone molecules (or herb/spice extracts as a substitute). Bees release these molecules to send messages to each other.

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 investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

In this activity about olfaction (9th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors, including some edible food items.

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

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

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.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior.

In this activity about olfaction (8th activity on the page), learners smell 10 different items with different odors. Then they try to identify the smells when they are mixed together.

Are balloons porous or non-porous? In this activity, learners watch an entertaining Mr. O video and conduct a simple experiment to find out.

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