Touch and Smell - Results Tables
Science Resource Description
The provided text outlines a series of scientific investigations into the senses of touch and smell. The first set of results is from a Mystery Box Investigation, where participants made predictions about the contents of various boxes and then recorded the actual findings. Similarly, the second table details the results of a Skin Sensitivity Investigation, which measures the sensitivity of different body parts (arm, leg, and neck) to various brush numbers, indicating the degree of tactile perception among different pupils. This investigation provides insight into the variability of skin sensitivity across different areas of the body.
Additionally, the scent detection abilities of the participants are explored through Scented Mystery Boxes and a Sense of Smell Investigation. In the former, descriptions of smells are predicted and then compared to the actual scents contained within each box, while in the latter, cups containing different scents are ranked by the strength of their smell. These tables highlight individuals' abilities to identify and rank smells based on their intensity. A diagram illustrating the diffusion of air freshener is also mentioned, which would visually represent the dispersal rate of scent particles in a given space, providing a practical demonstration of how quickly a smell can permeate an area.
