Food for Thought: Temperature and Odor
Do you think the temperature of the room affects the time it takes an odor to get to your nose? Explain your answer. Provide two pieces of scientific reasoning to explain why.
I think yes the temperature does affect the odor. For example, if chocolates were melted, the smell would be stronger and travels faster to my nose ( also because I love chocolate) another example if a burger is frozen it takes longer to smell but when you cook it, it is strong and travels to my nose faster.
