Today, we’re going to explore the amazing world of smell and how our bodies sense different odors. Let’s dive in and learn all about it!
The nose is the special part of our body that helps us smell things. It picks up different scents and sends this information to our brain. For example, if you smell something yummy like cookies baking, your nose tells your brain, and you might feel hungry!
The nose does more than just smell. It also helps us breathe by cleaning the air before it goes into our lungs. It makes sure the air is warm and moist, which is important for our health.
When you sniff the air, tiny particles float into your nostrils and travel to the nasal cavity. The small hairs and the moist lining help filter and clean the air. The olfactory membrane then gathers the smell information and sends it to your brain through the olfactory nerve.
Your brain figures out what the smell is and decides how you should react. If you smell something burning, your brain might tell you to find out what’s wrong and stay safe.
Did you know that some animals can smell even better than humans? Dogs, for example, have an incredible sense of smell. They can find people who are lost in the woods just by sniffing!
Isn’t the sense of smell fascinating? It’s amazing how our nose and brain work together to help us understand the world around us. We hope you enjoyed learning about it!

Smell Detective Adventure: Go on a smell adventure around your home or garden. Take a notebook and write down different smells you encounter. Try to describe each smell and guess what it might be. Share your findings with your family and see if they can guess the smells too!
Create a Smell Collage: Gather different items with distinct smells, like an orange peel, a flower, or a piece of chocolate. Glue small pieces of these items onto a piece of paper to create a “smell collage.” Close your eyes and try to identify each smell. Discuss with a friend or family member how each smell makes you feel.
Animal Super Sniffers Exploration: Research an animal known for its strong sense of smell, like a dog or an elephant. Draw a picture of the animal and write a few sentences about how it uses its sense of smell. Share your drawing and facts with the class or your family.

Today, we’re going to learn about the sense of smell and the sense organs involved in it.
[Music]
The nose is the sense organ responsible for smell. It perceives odors and sends this information to the brain, allowing it to respond appropriately. For example, if you smell something burning, the nose sends this information to the brain, which then triggers a reaction.
The nose has other important functions as well. It is the pathway for the air we breathe, cleaning and filtering it to prevent harmful substances from entering the lungs. Additionally, the nose moistens and warms the air.
Some of the key components of the sense of smell include the nostrils, which are the two openings in the nose that allow smells to enter, and the nasal cavity, located above the palatine bone and connected to the throat. This area is lined with a mucous membrane that keeps the nose moist.
Inside our noses, we have small hairs that help clean and filter the air. The olfactory membrane is located at the upper part of the nasal cavity and contains cells that collect information to send to the brain via the olfactory nerve.
The olfactory nerve connects to the olfactory membrane and transmits smell signals from the environment to the brain. When we have a cold, our nose may become blocked, which can reduce our ability to detect smells.
These are the sense organs that contribute to our sense of smell.
Interesting, right?
The smells we can detect are particles or chemical substances floating in the air. These particles travel through the air and enter our nose through the nostrils, reaching the nasal cavity.
In the nasal cavity, small hairs clean and filter the air, and this area is covered by a mucous membrane that keeps the nose moist. The filtered air then reaches the olfactory membrane, where cells collect information and send it to the brain.
The brain processes this information and triggers the necessary responses to different smells. For instance, if our nose detects a burning smell, we will look for the source and find a safe place to hide.
Did you know that some animals can detect more smells than humans? Dogs, for example, are excellent at searching for and rescuing people who are lost in the woods.
That’s how the sense of smell works! Did you enjoy learning about it?
