Evidence Of

What steps would a scientist mostly likely take following this debate to determine a scientific conclusion?

• Compare the dinosaur fossil to dinosaur bones discovered by other scientists at a museum.

• Share their findings in order to compare them with accepted findings from the scientific community

• Reading a paper published by a professor at a university and base all further decisions on the evidence found in that paper

• Pick an expert on fossils from the scientific community to conduct a study and decide which scientist came up with the best hypothesis about the fossil.

The picture shows the fossil of Archaeopteryx. Does this fossil support the theory of evolution?

• yes, because it is a complete fossil and only complete fossils can be used to prove the theory of evolution

• yes, because it shows evidence of feathers, indicating that it might be a distant relative of birds

• no, because it is so different that it cannot be compared to any modern day organism

• no, because it dates back more than one hundred million years ago beyond the scope of dating techniques
