So as students uncovered that air is comprised of different molecules, we're uncovering how this idea can be connected to different odors. How are odors different from one another?
By smelling various smells, students are also seeing the atoms that make up a molecule of each odor. We'll be looking for patterns to distinguish one smell from another, as well as see if the molecules that determine similar smells are somehow related, too.

From our investigation, we discovered three big ideas!
1. Different substances can be made of both the same types of atoms or of different atoms.
2. Substances that are made of the same types of atoms differ in two ways: either the number of atoms or the ways in which they are arranged.
Great thinking!
