Wait, some places do it as power point slides?
How many other ways have you guys seen it run?
I know there's stations with pictures, one big test, and power points (I guess), but what else?

Thank you @John Richardsim for the Quagga/Zebra Mussel Information! :)

Is there a way to tell the difference between the CLB and ALB (excluding adult stage)? The larva and pupal stage seem to be almost identical... In addition, how are you all organizing your "Control and Prevention" section of your notes? I feel like mine is inefficient, as I take from all sources but don't formulate a sentence for control in general. Thanks!

There's a test on the test exchange that looks like half powerpoint/stations and half written test.

We got something like that once for Fossils - it got a bit confusing because we had to shuffle so many different packets of paper.

For ALB and CLB, the pupal stages are pretty much the same, but the larvae have different patterns on their pronotal plates (the top of their head)

On google images, if you search up quagga mussel and you search up zebra mussel in another tab/window. There is one picture that appears on both. If a proctor gives me that picture on a test WHAT DO I DOOO :P

Sorry to double post but I can't seem to find a consistent list of what fits under "Asian Carps". I've seen credible sources that say anywhere from two to nine. :shock:

If you visit the website that the offending image is on, the website may have captions, or a description. It may just be that the website has a page on both zebra mussels and quagga mussels, and Google simply included both keywords in your image search. This should clarify it a bit.
