Smells bring about memories or have an emotional effect on us, be it nostalgic, comforting, traumatic or exciting. Our senses also play an important role in relation to acceptance and preference of food and beverages.
Did you know that humans are able to remember about 50,000 smells at one time? We are blessed with a bunch of olfactory neurons inside our noses. The molecules of scent, mainly the volatiles are transported to these neurons. Then, our brain picks and processes the smell translating them as memory.
This is an excellent activity for awareness and education on human sensory of smell, especially for school kids.
