{"product_id":"2940014751254","title":"Science Lab in a Supermarket","description":"You probably don't think of a supermarket as a science laboratory. After all, you go to a supermarket to buy food, cleaning supplies, or paper products—not to conduct experiments. The truth is every aisle, shelf, nook, and cranny of a supermarket could be the source of a scientific wonder. All you have to do is take the time to look around and use your imagination. Items found in the produce aisle can teach you about biology. The aisle with cleaning products offers all kinds of lessons in chemistry. The dairy aisle can teach you something about science too. Wherever you look, you can study the sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe order and location of the aisles and the arrangement of the shelves have all been carefully designed to get customers to buy as much as possible. The strategies used by supermarket designers are based on the science of psychology, which looks at the behavior of human beings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER ONE - IS WHAT YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET?\u003cbr\u003eWhy Is Food Packaged?\u003cbr\u003eA Big Trick: The Size of Detergent Containers\u003cbr\u003eFooling the Senses\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER TWO - PRODUCE SECTION\u003cbr\u003eFruits and Vegetables\u003cbr\u003eHow Water Travels Through Plants\u003cbr\u003eCrying in the Kitchen\u003cbr\u003ePopcorn!
