Algo aqui não cheira bem... a química do mau cheiro

Resumo

This work presents for science teachers a alternative way to contextualize some themes of chemistry by exploiting the universe of smells. Culturally, we associate the bad smell a danger situations or phenomena that require caution. Typically, a feeling of psychological stress causes the brain to associate the smell with these situations. Recalling the smell remember of the lived moment and try to avoid it again. We present a discussion about this process assign meaning to the smell at a stress or danger moment for assist in class of science. Through the smell, we have contributed intent to develop further the field of mental models and demystifying the idea that visual experiences has greater significance to science experiments.
