I don’t think I ever said “running experiments”, I said looking at data was relevant (i.e. the data other people had collected about the movement of the planets, Earth’s moon and objects here on earth)
If I implied otherwise my bad, please point it out, I will correct it.
Given that Newton’s method was to stare at a given problem for a few decades and think about how it interacts with the available data it’s not something that you can simply repeat in school. Newton was also previously exposed to other theory such as Hooke’s law and Kepler’s laws of planetary motion.
What kind of real science do you think children in school could actually do?
