Science
- The 6-year-old student learned about plant biology by understanding how rose petals contain natural oils that can be extracted to make perfume.
- Through the activity, the student also explored the concept of chemical reactions by observing how the scent of the rose petals changed when mixed with water.
- Additionally, the student gained knowledge about the sense of smell and how different scents can be created by combining various natural ingredients.
For continued development, consider involving the student in exploring other fragrant flowers or herbs to create different types of natural perfumes. Encourage them to experiment with different ratios and combinations to see how it affects the final scent.
