Something smells Natural gas is invisible. A rotten-egg smell is added to it so you can tell if gas is leaking.

If you smell gas, get out fast! If you smell a gas leak in your home, tell an adult. If no adult is present, get everyone out of the house quickly. Do not use a light switch, flashlight, TV, or even a phone. Go to a safe location and ask an adult to report the leak to 911 and the local natural gas utility.

Directions: Color this page and circle the body part that helps everyone smell a gas leak.

Directions: Number these pictures in the correct order. The first one is done for you.
