Scientific method for 6 year olds

Albert Einstein is said to have said that if you cannot explain a thing to a six year, then you don't understand it yourself.

So how do you explain the scientific method to a six year old? Well, I think I would try it here. It may be a fun exercise to try to simplify a thing down to its elements in a way that anyone, including a six year old, could understand it.

So here it is. The scientific method is just watching something and trying to do it yourself. Now that I've explained it to a six year old in a way I'm sure that a six year old would understand, what do you people think of it? Too simple? Yes. But essentially, isn't that what the scientific method is?

You observe a phenomenon, and then you attempt to reproduce it. That is the more sophisticated definition given above. That's probably a bit too simplified too, but I still say it captures the essense of it.

So what do you people think?

If I were to say then, what would you say about gravity? Isaac Newton is said to have watched the apple fall to the ground, and then he asked a few questions. Why does the apple fall to the ground?

We still don't really know the answer after all this time. But we know a few other things relating to it.

And the wokists want to cancel Isaac Newton?

Maybe you should ask a few questions about that one. Do they really want us to go back and live in caves? Looks that way sometimes.
