Community science involves professional scientists collaborating with members of the public to study a topic. This approach to research can promote community engagement by providing youth with learning experiences outside of the classroom. It's also very effective because it greatly increases the amount of data that can be collected, such as when biologist Grace Herzel and colleagues studied butterfly wing patterns and their relation to hehavior and used findings reported by hundreds of students and community members in northwestern Arkansas.

A community science approach allows researchers to collect significantly more data even though it's unlikely to have much of an effect on learning outside the classroom.

Grace Herzel and colleagues used a community science approach in their butterfly research and were surprised at the effect this had on learning outside the classroom.

A community science approach can increase learning outside the classroom and generate large amounts of data, benefiting both communities and researchers.

A community science approach can benefit communities by increasing learning outside the classroom, but it's less likely to help researchers obtain accurate data.
