1. Ext PARK – Day Open on Elinor, Olive and Ari standing around looking expectantly. Mr Dog walks by. MR DOG Hi kids, what are you up to? Olive We were supposed to meet Señor Tapir here Mr Dog sniffs the air and smiles. MR DOG Oh! ( sniff , sniff) He’s around here somewhere. ELINOR How do you know? MR DOG I have a special way to recognize my friends. Watch this trick. Mr Dog pulls out a blindfold. MR DOG (CONT’D) Now mix yourselves up. The kids shuffle their positions. Mr. Dog then leans down and sniffs (at a distance) each one. <SFX: SNIFF, SNIFF> then he points. MR DOG (CONT’D) Olive..Elinor..Ari Mr Dog turns his nose toward a small bush behind the kids MR DOG (CONT’D) ...and hello Señor Tapir! Señor Tapir pops out from behind the small bush, with a big smile. <SFX: WHOAA WALLA AND LAUGHTER> as Mr. Dog takes off his blindfold. ElinoR (laughing) What?! That was amazing Mr. Dog Señor Tapir swings his guitar around from behind his back. Señor Tapir You know, Mr. Dog’s fancy trick reminds me of a scientist named Alexandra Horowitz who wanted to know how dogs can tell who is who. 2. Ext Park – Day We see a family of elephants. SeNOR TAPIR (singing) Some use their eyes to tell who is who That one is Jim, this one is Lou An elephant looks over at three other elephants who each wave their trunk as their names are called out. A dogs best sense comes from their nose Is that how they tell Mike from Rose Professor Horowitz has wondered that too What do dogs use to tell who is who Alexandra (as a cat) walks up, smiles and points to the dog’s nose. She did a test, she found a surprise Dogs use their nose like we use our eyes Smells waft into a dog’s nose, and it gets thought bubbles of the faces of the animals. Just one sniff with a dog’s super nose, the world comes alive with sense that it knows Rose has a smell Mike does as well For dogs it is clear Mike is right here Just one sniff with a dog’s super nose, the world comes alive with sense that it knows Just one sniff with a dog’s super nose, the world comes alive with sense that it knows 3. Ext PARK – Day Back in the park. Señor Tapir So you see, dogs use their sense of smell to figure out who is who. Mr Dog sniffs the air. ElinOR That nose sure is special MR DOG I sure think so. And what do you think Ms. Gorilla? The kids look confused when Ms. Gorilla pops out from behind a second small bush next to the first one. The kids all <SFX: LAUGH> at the sight of the large gorilla popping out from a small bush Reference: https: // www.nytimes.com /2017/09/22/science/ dogs-smell-recognition.html

ELINOR WONDERS WHY EWW INTERSTITIAL 108: SENOR TAPIR Alexandra Horwitz and Dogs Written by Matt Giorgianni FOLLOWS: " Ms Mole's Glasses" CONNECTION: Using other senses to recognize things and people. CURRICULUM: Alexandra Horowitz was curious whether dogs use smells to recognize each other and themselves. Dogs react to their own scent, particularly if it's mixed with another smell. Alexandra expanded our idea of recognition in animals by reminding us that there are other senses than vision that animals use to identify animals. SEP1 . Asking questions and defining problems. [Alexandra Horowitz wanted to know how dogs recognize each other] SEP3 . Planning and carrying out investigations. [ Alexandra Horotitz did an experiment ] LS2 - Understand that animals have different body parts that are used in different ways to meet their needs, and that plants have different parts that help them survive and grow. A. Identify body parts of animals and their function. (The kids learn that dogs use their noses to identify other animals).
