Deadline On checklist
Hello Mosquito G.R.I.D. Agent,
You've completed your mosquito egg surveillance! Here is what you need to do next:
On the video below, click on "YouTube" in lower left corner of video to open the video in YouTube.
Before going outside, apply repellent or take other bite prevention measures.
Part 1:
Remove paper from Mosquito Egg Cup
-
Remove the wet paper.
-
Place the egg paper on clean, flat surface with side that may have eggs on it facing up (the side of the paper that faced the interior of the cup).
-
Dump used water from the cup.
Part 2:
Allow Paper to dry completely
Helpful Hint: A light breeze can blow it away as it dries. Secure the paper with weights at each corner. Be careful not scrape surface which might dislodge any eggs clinging to it.
Part 3:
Save the Paper (Your results!)
Gently roll and store the dry paper back inside the egg cup.
Part 4:
Return Complete kit & egg paper to school for microscope analysis
After microscope analysis turn in the following items in resealable bag to the Return Bin in your classroom: ​
-
Mosquito Egg Cup (with egg paper inside)
-
Spike
​​
Do not place loose items in return bin. Make sure the label on your cup is still legible. If not, you might not get credit for the project.
Deadline: Tuesday
