Explained in plain English

How could schools teach smell?

The idea is for primary and secondary schools to actively include 'aroma sniffing' lessons. This could involve pupils identifying different natural scents, perhaps even creating a 'smell library' of common and unusual odours. It's about making children more aware of their surroundings through their noses, much like they learn to observe with their eyes.
