Smelling Bottles

Fri, Feb 15, 2013

Materials: plastic spice jar, liquid scent, cotton balls

Activity: Choose objects with a scent. (Garlic, spices, scented oil, vinegar, lemon juice, fruit extracts, coffee beans, fresh grass clippings, flowers). Add them to plastic spice jars with flip-top lids. Pour liquid scents onto cotton balls, and add them to spice jars. Smell several scent jars. Match which have the same smell. Create a way to sort the scents (appeal, origin, intensity). Sort them!

Big Question: How can you organize the smelling bottles?
