Developing an Interactive Demonstration for the Science of Smell

We present our work towards developing an interactive demonstration for middle school and high school students on the science behind how we smell. We will discuss the results of our literature search which shows there are three models for how we smell: the Lock and Key model, the Vibration Theory model, and the most widely accepted model that combines the two. We will discuss how we plan to demonstrate these three concepts to young science students and how we plan to us it as a tool to generate interest in science.
