How to use dissect in a sentence?

1. Superintendent Andrew Pulver:

   We'll teach kids how to dissect a squid. We'll take kids on nature hikes. They'll learn how to build shelters. They'll learn how to identify different trees and plants, it's really about teaching kids about the love of nature. The point of outdoor education is to help people grow. It's certainly not to traumatize anybody. … That's not why we're in business.

2. Shanann Watts:

   One time, someone left two Happy Meals for the girls on the porch. Some were compelled to make contact with Chris Watts. It was incredibly disturbing. And there has been so much speculation in the YouTube community. They even call it ‘ Watts Island, ’ where they have these ongoing speculations about the case and dissect every portion of it. I felt very sad when Shanann’s dad had to fly all the way to Colorado just to tell people to stop harassing Chris Watts after having gone through so much. There was just a lot of negative energy.

3. Lim Kit Siang:

   All Malaysians should study and dissect the most astonishing interview given by Najib on the 1MDB scandal with Reuters, i do not believe that Najib is so stupid, incompetent or ignorant, which only means he was lying through his teeth in his interview with Reuters.

4. Jordan Kushner:

   The end results speak for themselves.We are currently focused on [Thompson’s current] trial and do not have time to dissect these police reports from 10-18 years ago. it's a shame that there's no concern about due process.

5. Henry Kravis:

   At KKR, we devote a great deal of time, attention and creativity trying to dissect, understand and anticipate change with the goal of achieving consistently strong returns for our investors.
