The Sense of Smell

Exploring the Five Senses
http://www.preschoolrainbow.org/5senses.htm#Sense%20of%20Smell
Audience: Preschools and Early Elementary Teachers.

At Gail's Preschool Rainbow, you'll find lesson plans and ideas for exploring the five senses of touch, sight, smell, taste and sound. During this theme children identify, compare and classify items as they investigate the world around them. This Preschool Rainbow 5 Senses Theme is selected by the SciLinks program, a service of National Science Teachers Association. Kris C.'s sensory experience with Playdough encourages preschoolers to use several senses in this early childhood activity but cautions, "I would probably not recommend this for kids that are still prone to eating Playdough. It smells really good and they might try to eat it, and the extract can make them sick."

What claims to be "The Yukkiest Site on the Internet" disguises a terrific science-friendly site for kids. Their explanation of "What makes the smell of something, like, say, rotten eggs?" may be easier to digest than most. Check out their "factoids" such as, "If your sniffer is in peak performance you can tell the difference between 4000-10,000 smells. Now that's heavy-duty sniffing!"
