Curiosity Lab: Flavors and Fragrances with MilliporeSigma

Did you know that humans can recognize more than 10,000 scents? Students will practice recognizing scents by smelling different chemicals on scent sticks. They will then learn how their body recognizes and interprets scents. The focus will be on how the structure of the chemical is what causes the unique flavor or fragrance of the chemical based on how it interacts with human sensory receptors.
