  Understanding the effect spiral structure has on star formation properties of
galaxies is important to completing our picture of spiral structure evolution.
Previous studies have investigated connections between spiral arm properties
with star formation, but the effect that the number of spiral arms has on this
process is unclear. Here we use the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey
paired with the citizen science visual classifications from the Galaxy Zoo
project to explore galaxies' spiral arm number and how it connects to the star
formation process. We use the votes from the GAMA-KiDS GalaxyZoo classification
to investigate the link between spiral arm number with stellar mass, star
formation rate, and specific star formation rate. We find that galaxies with
fewer spiral arms have lower stellar masses and higher sSFRs, while those with
more spiral arms tend toward higher stellar masses and lower sSFRs, and
conclude that galaxies are less efficient at forming stars if they have more
spiral arms. We note how previous studies' findings may indicate a cause for
this connection in spiral arm strength or opacity.
