Can We Make Sense of Our Senses?

1. List ten of your most and least favorite smells below.
2. Pair up with someone and compare lists. If you have something in common, place a check in the space provided next to the smell.
3. Find the percentage of smells that you and your partner have in common.
   Example: If you marked 5 out of 10 smells as common, the fraction is 5/10
   • (Use a calculator if needed) 5 divided by 10 is 0.5
   • To write a decimal as a percent, multiply the number by 100 and add the (%) percent symbol. 0.5 x 100 = 50 -> Add the percent symbol to get 50%
4. Write a conclusion using three or more sentences. Which smells did you have in common? What were the final percentages you found for these smells?
