The Science of Sue (Live)
Using both traditional methods and cutting-edge technologies,
scientists are extending the limits of what is known about
the T. rex through their study of Sue. Join student
reporters at the high school press conference, and follow
up with your own questions to the scientists who are breaking
the story of Sue to shed new light on how T. rex looked
and behaved. By looking at the fossil in these new ways, we
can reconstruct how she might have looked, moved and behaved
over 65 million years ago. Imagine the picture!
