Using the mystery of The Sue Files to captivate students' imagination, this site takes fourth through eighth grade students on an interactive online investigation of whether Sue, a Tyrannosaurus rex on display at The Field Museum, could be responsible for the disappearance of Dr. I. M. Prey, a Museum scientist. This site consists of two areas:

Student Section: standards-led activities that enable students to investigate the mystery by making observations, developing hypotheses, questioning assumptions, testing ideas, and coming to conclusions
Educators' Resource: introductory material (both to the underlying science and to standards-led curriculum), curriculum instructions, assessment tools, and a place to post curriculum modifications and ideas
