Smell connections

Submitted by joycetheriot on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 9:52am.
For my physics-chem students I would investigate the perfume samples in magazines, have students bring in some as well. Then we'd question how these smells are able to be 'kept' in the sample packets. Perhaps testing the time that the fragrance lasts in a variety of packets and eventually discussing microencapsulation. We have strict district rules about food and drink in labs.
