Why does pizza smell so good - and why does your favorite food taste bland when you have a stuffy nose?

This engaging nonfiction science book walks young readers through the fascinating chemistry behind two of their most-used senses: smell and taste. From the invisible molecules floating off a freshly baked cookie to the fiery chemical that makes hot peppers burn, every chapter reveals real science hiding inside everyday experiences.

Inside this book, young scientists will discover:

  • How scent molecules travel from your nose all the way to your brain
  • Why your sense of smell and sense of taste work together to create flavor
  • The real reason food tastes different when you have a cold
  • How perfume chemists design scents using chemistry
  • Why certain smells trigger strong memories and emotions
  • The science behind spicy heat and why it feels like burning
  • How food scientists create artificial flavors and fragrances
  • What makes some smells pleasant and others unbearable
