Data to the Rescue Club

Whether you are part of an afterschool club, scouts, or 4-H program, we invite you to join our research team!  

The facilitator guide supports educators, parents, and afterschool providers in facilitating Data to the Rescue: Penguins Need Our Help! with young Explorers grades 5 to 8. Use this guide and accompanying resources to learn how to host a research club with young explorers to study penguins in Antarctica.

Faciltator Guide

Club members will have an opportunity to explore their interest in STEM by studying Antarctica. Use the pre-meeting activity postcards to introduce club members to the science team, learn more about penguins, and take action to help fight climate change.

Youth independently complete all the tasks on the postcard, record their notes in the Research Journal, and share what they have learned at each in-person club meeting.
