Smelling Flowers

edited by: William C. Ritz and William Straits

This activity is for sorting flowers based on their scents. Have children arrange their flowers in a Sorting Box with all the flowers that smell on one side and those that don’t on the other side. Ask them to talk more about the sense of smell, what we use to smell, and why a sense of smell is important. Activity can be extended by using herbs. A materials list, internet resources, standards, and safety practices are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Preface, About the Editors, Introduction, Simple Graphing for Young Children, Science Teaching Boards and Boxes, Basic Materials List, and Index.
