Introduction

*Many people lose their appetite by the bad

smells

- pollution or unpleasant substance.

*For example, some people cannot eat next

to a rubbish dump because the bad smell

causes nausea and loss the appetite.

• Like humans, hamsters also react in this

way.

•The hamster will represent the humans’

appetite.

•How certain smells can make the

hamster lose its appetite.

Problem

Are there some aromatic scents that

can minimize your appetite?

Objective

*To determine that the feeding

of the hamsters is more

effective in a pleasant

environment.

Hypothesis

~The hamsters will consume more food in an

environment with aromatic fragrances that are

pleasing to human health.

Methodology

*Will search for information on hamsters and whether any aromatic fragrance could affect this animal, especially their sense of smell.

Methodology

- In this research will work with

three hamsters of the same race

and lifetime.

-This research will be worked in a

comfortable temperature place in

Humacao and using three cages of

the same size and color.

Methodology

*The fragrances will be of trash, candy and environmental odor.

*The hamsters eat approximately 15 g of food.

*In this research will be fed with 30g of one commercial food and 100 milliliters of water and then we will see how much the hamster consume.

Methodology

~The food of the hamster will be

weights after the hamster finished

~The hamster will be weight daily

before starting the procedure.

~Then, I will begin my research by

placing the hamsters (in their

cages) to a foot away from the

scented candle for one hour.

Methodology

Methodology

- After spending this time let the candle and will serve 30g of food and 100 milliliters of water, keep there for one hour.
