Yesterday, we learnt about our sense of smell. We discovered that we have small sensors in our nose which communicate with our brain for us to understand the odour of something. We also found out that without our sense of smell, we would not be able to taste as strongly. Our experiment was to smell vanilla extract, garlic, chilli flakes, an orange and flowers and describe them as either sweet, strong, spicy, fruity or floral. We also gave them a rating out of 10. Year 1 understood that to really smell something, they had to sniff hard as this sucks up the molecules into our nostrils.
