One thing a scientist may want to learn is the diet of the newly - discovered dinosaur species. They could use the scientific method as follows: First, make observations of the dinosaur's teeth structure (sharp for carnivorous, flat for herbivorous), jaw shape, and fossilized stomach contents if available. Then, formulate a hypothesis, for example, "This dinosaur was a carnivore because of its sharp, serrated teeth." Next, conduct experiments or gather more data such as comparing the teeth and jaw structure to known carnivorous and herbivorous dinosaurs. Analyze the data and draw a conclusion to support or refute the hypothesis.
