The grocery store produce section used to be a familiar but rather dull place. There were bananas next to the oranges next to the limes. Broccoli was next to corn and lettuce. Apples and pears, radishes and onions, eggplants and zucchinis all lay in their appropriate bins. Those days are over. Now, broccoli may be next to bok choy, potatoes beside jicama, and the carambola, tomatillos, bitter melons, and tamarinds not far from cactus leaves, sapodillas, and pine nuts. The once dull and familiar produce section is no longer so dull and familiar. Instead of reinforcing the familiar, the produce section of most grocery stores has taken on a global flair with more and more international items arriving daily. The changes in the produce section make it a prime location for a lesson integrating science with social studies. That was the author's inspiration when she took a fifth-grade class to the grocery store. It ended up a recipe for success! Although our visit was part of a summer enrichment program, this "produce project" would be a great interdisciplinary adventure for any classroom.
