-     Counting butterflies is an important aspect of insect conservation programs that volunteer scientists from the public often perform. In this interactive outreach activity, students will search for and count butterflies placed around the room after a brief demonstration on how scientists use butterfly counts to study butterfly populations and inform conservation. At our table, students will learn about statistical uncertainty and how increasing the sample size leads to more precise estimates of butterfly populations. Students who participate will be able to choose a small insect sticker to take home. The activity can be completed in 3-5 minutes and is suitable for groups of 2-4 people. Having fewer than 2 people at the table would be too chaotic, and having more than 4 people would not be more helpful.
+    <p> Counting butterflies is an important aspect of insect conservation programs that volunteer scientists from the public often perform. In this interactive outreach activity, middle school students search for and count paper butterflies that have been placed around the room. They report their counts to the organizers, which feed the estimates into a statisical model. Students watch the model update with the newest data point.
