the construction paper. Do this for all 16

squares. Every small memory card will now

have a paper side and a foil side.

Divide the 16 cards into eight pairs of

two. On the paper side of both cards of a

pair, place a few drops of your perfume

oil. Similar to how visual memory games

work, there are two matching cards for

each perfume oil. To make sure that there

is no conflict during the game whether the

correct pair of smells has been found, you

should write the name of the perfume oil

on the paper hidden under the foil.

The Game

The 16 cards are put down with the paper

side down. The object of the game is to

find the matching pair of fragrances by

turning two cards over at a time, and

sniffing.

In each turn, the player can turn two cards.

Anyone finding a matching pair should let

it lie paper side up, and can then select two

more cards. If two cards are turned and

are not a pair, they should be placed back

in their spots foil side up, and it is the next

player’s turn.

> A tip: To store the game, put the smell

pairs with the perfumed sides towards each

other, and place them all into a plastic bag.

PEACH OR CHERRY?

TESTING YOUR TASTE

BUDS

Your sense of smell is very closely linked to

your sense of taste. As soon as you clamp

your nose, you will no longer be able to tell

whether you are eating a peach or cherry

yogurt.

> Materials: one each of a yogurt with

peach and cherry flavor (you can also use

other fruit flavors), 2 spoons

The Game

Close your eyes and clamp your nose firmly

with your fingers. Breathe only through

your mouth. For the test, let a friend serve

you a spoonful of the peach-flavored

yogurt and then a spoonful of the cherry

yogurt to taste. Make a bet whether you

can tell the two flavors apart. Can you?

> How can this be? While our sense of

smell is very sensitive, our sense of taste is

much simpler. While we have at least 20

smell receptors, we only have five known

taste sensors, which are classified as: sour,

salty, bitter, sweet, and umami. The latter

is Japanese and means “delicious” tasting.

In the umami category, we can recognize

sodium glutamate, which is used to amplify

the taste of foods. In contrast to our 10

million smell sensing cells, we only have

approximately 300,000 taste sensing cells.

> A tip: Large pieces of fruit make it easier

to recognize what taste it is — a cherry has

a different texture than a piece of peach.

Is it peach or is it cherry? In

this test make sure that there

are no pieces of fruit on the

spoon to tip off the taster.
