Has your enthusiasm for distilling ink run dry? Breathe new life into the topic of Year 7 separating mixtures with Perfumes. Fragrances are full of science, and this activity will enable pupils to create their own stunning scents from scratch.

Perfumes is a pick and mix collection of activities. Besides a collection of experiments for making and testing fragrances, there is extension material on applying the particle model to how we smell perfume.

Perfumes is also about improving literacy. Instead of just 'writing up' the experiments they have done, pupils imagine they are writing for a new teen magazine. They are supported by lively writing frames that cover different literacy skills.
