What makes this more of a “modern” grocery playset: the beeping, flashing scanner for ringing up your food, or the fact that you can buy your groceries with plastic? (In this case, plastic is to be taken literally, with the pretend Fun-To-Shop credit card.) Whatever the case, kids will love playing shopkeeper with this realistic little setup. The Pretend & Play Supermarket Checkout includes almost a dozen different plastic and cardboard food containers; a battery-operated, 1-foot-long conveyor belt for rolling food along; and a 5-inch-wide-by-6-inch-high checkout register with a scale, a pop-out drawer, and–of course–a credit card swiper that really beeps. Aspiring cashiers can weigh food, ring up sales on the pretend keypad, and put miniature cartons of milk, candy bars, and pizza boxes on the scanner (a button on top triggers a beep and a flash).

Put an ice cube in a bowl of warm water. Don’t touch it, it will turn over by itself, again, and again.

Why?

The warm water melts the bottom of the ice quickly. The top of the ice gets heavy, so it falls. Therefore, the cube turns over and over and over.
