Summary/Consensus:

Butterfly Spy begins with a black beginning screen with the science center logo, a blue morpho butterfly, and a begin button. After pressing the begin button, a new screen pops up and displays four pictures of butterfly actions and four corresponding labels and magnifying glasses. When the user sees a butterfly doing the same thing as the photo on the app, they click on the photo, and the label adds one to the score. Next, a notifier will pop up that asks the user to click on the magnifying glass. Once pressed, a screen with the image and a fact about that action will appear. Once done with the fact screen, the user can press back and they will arrive at the action screen. Lastly, the user will press finish after they have inputted all of their data. Then, another notifier confirming their completion will appear and the app will grab the date, time, and the user inputted data (number of times each button was pressed). This data will upload to a public fusion table, which teachers and staff can access through a link. The fusion table is intended to help teacher's find their classes' data, and help their students draw scientific conclusions.
