In May 2000, the unveiling of her 67-million-year-old skeleton at The Field Museum made global headlines. Since then, more than 16 million visitors have marveled over Chicago’s prehistoric giant. Using the story of SUE to captivate students’ imagination, the Unearthing the Secrets of SUE Educator Guide takes pre-k through eighth-grade students on an interactive exploration of SUE at The Field Museum and the scientific insights she’s providing about the world in which she lived. The lessons in this guide will engage students in the science of SUE by: • providing students unique access to SUE, the largest, most complete, and best preserved TYRANNOSAURUS REX ever discovered; • providing students with hands-on activities that enable them to investigate by making observations, developing hypotheses, questioning assumptions, testing ideas, and coming to conclusions; • introducing students to careers in science by highlighting the wide professional expertise involved in the SUE project; and • introducing students to the countless resources available to them through The Field Museum including field trips, and online research and interactive learning opportunities. How to Use this Guide • Detailed Background Information is provided to support educators in sharing the story of SUE with students. Use this information to prepare yourself and your students for learning about SUE.

  • Tyrannosaurus Sue a Letter from Bruce Adolphe
    Tyrannosaurus Sue A letter from Bruce Adolphe Humans, like you, have the amazing ability to think about the past. Not only can we think about what we had for dinner last night or recall a concert or sports event from last year, we can even think about things that happened before we were born — or before anyone was born. Like thinking about dinosaurs. Because paleontologists (scientists who study fossils and remains from millions of years ago) can uncover the past for us, we can look at dinosaur bones and think about what life was like 67 million years ago. That’s way before smart phones. It’s even before umbrellas. In fact, it is before people existed! In the year 2000, the most complete set of dinosaur bones ever discovered was put on display at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The bones belonged to a Tyrannosaurus rex that weighed about seven tons (when alive), and it had 60 teeth, some as long as 12 inches. Because the T. rex was discovered by a paleontologist named Sue Hendrickson, we call the dinosaur Sue. Its official name is FMNH PR 2081. “Sue” is catchier, I think you will agree. When “Sue” was put on display for the first time, the Chicago Chamber Musicians were invited to play a concert in the museum to celebrate the day, and they asked me to compose them a piece about the dinosaur. That’s why we have the piece Tyrannosaurus Sue. If you were writing a piece of music about a Tyrannosaurus rex, which one of these instruments would you choose to portray the huge dinosaur: flute; trombone; violin; cello; clarinet.

  • 2006 Flag Report on 11 Expeditions
    In 2005, Wings WorldQuest launched the Wings Expedition Flag Program to bring visibility and support to women leading expeditions of discovery. The Flag promotes the organization’s dedication to advancing exploration in science and art for educational purposes. The 2005 Flag Report, documenting six expeditions, was distributed to hundreds of young people across the country. We are delighted to bring you the 2006 Flag Report on 11 expeditions. A dozen more are currently in the field. The expeditions in the 2006 Flag Report cover the depths of the ocean, the grasslands of India, the Gobi desert, caves in Honduras and the Bahamas, jungles of Central America and the glaciers of the American Northwest. The explorers shed new light on mysteries of ancient humans as well as mysteries about Mars. They discovered new species, worked to save imperiled species, and extended their reach across cultural divides. What unites them is their passion for learning, their commitment to sharing their dis- coveries and their dedication to the preservation of the fragile zones they are exploring. • Kate Harris bicycled 4000 km as she traced Marco Polo’s travels along the ancient Silk Road. • Genie Clark recorded discoveries about coral reef fish in the Solomon Islands. • Sue Hendrickson searched for dinosaur fossils in Wyoming and explored caves in Honduras to find new species of geckos. • Stephanie Schwabe dived into forbidding caves in the Bahamas to examine the role that microbes play in the earth’s chemistry. • Gitanjali Banerjee investigated the endangered greater one-horned rhino in Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary, India. • Edith Widder, using her remarkable infrared camera invention Eye in the Sea, found new species on the ocean floor.

IMPLICATIONS: LAW TEACHING BEYOND THE SOCRATIC METHOD A Tyrannosaurus-Rex Aptly Named “Sue”: Using a Disputed Dinosaur to Teach Contract Defenses Miriam A. Cherry* I. INTRODUCTION In August 1990, commercial fossil hunters from the Black Hills Geologic Institute (“Black Hills”) discovered the remains of an almost-complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton located in the badlands of South Dakota.1 Named “Sue” after her discoverer,2 the fossil immediately became the subject of controversy. Although many of the facts were disputed, the collectors gave the purported owner of the land, a Native American rancher named Maurice Williams, a check for $5,000, which he cashed, and the collectors excavated Sue.3 The fair market value of a T-Rex skeleton with that degree of completeness was over eight million dollars.4 Once the discovery began to garner publicity, Williams began a fierce court battle to rescind the contract with Black Hills, claiming that the $5,000 was merely a payment * Assistant Professor of Law, Cumberland School of Law, Samford University; B.A., 1996, Dartmouth College; J.D., 1999, Harvard Law School.
