Shake the boxes. Smell the boxes. Listen to the boxes. Weigh the boxes.
I am hesitating between 4 options to answer the following question, which option should I choose?
Question: Mrs. Henderson's class has five small, covered boxes. One contains perfume; another contains dried onions. There is also a box of pine needles, a box of lemon pieces, and a box with a paper towel wet with vanilla flavoring. Which should they do to get the best information about what is in each box?
Possibilities:
