[LM_NET] TAR: Research on rats

[Susan Grigsby <susan.grigsby@GMAIL.COM>]

Please excuse any cross-posting...
I have a 7th grade teacher who just finished up a fiction study in which
rats played a large part in the plot. He wants his students to do a
follow-up research project on rats: Rats in the middle ages/history, current
problems posed by rats & current uses of rats, and the realities of rat
behavior/physiology to compare with the fictional rats in the story.
Because the search term "rats" is so broad, I'm having a hard time narrowing
down the topic to help his students with a pathfinder. Can anyone offer
suggestions or point me to some worthwhile sites? Thanks so much!
