One day, for an activity with simple machines, my students were in groups and they had to design a better mousetrap (non-lethal) that wouldn't kill the mouse. Then, they had to design a tv ad for their invention.
One group had a great ad, featuring a mouse. The little boy who was playing the mouse had mouse ears taped to his head and a set o f whiskers taped to his nose. While he was preparing, I noticed him trimming his whiskers. "What are you doing?" I asked. I found out later he was trying to even up his whiskers.
He thought for a moment. "Shaving." he replied.
I had never before thought about how mice would shave, but that day I did.
