Journal Entry:

 What smell or smells do you predict for a compound made of molecules that create a frying pan shape? What is your reasoning?

Learning Intentions

• We will learn the receptor site model to explain how smell works in the nose based on evidence so far.

• We will learn how to predict the smells of a variety of compounds by examining molecular formulas, chemical names, molecular structures and molecular shapes and reviewing Chapter 6 and 7.

Closing Task:

You can create a model that explains how we smell.

You can summarize the the connections explored so far between molecular structure and smell.
