I was educated in the 1970s. My physics, chemistry and biology classes didn't verify every single thing that's taught but we did do experiments that verified directly quite a bit of it (including ordinary and AP classes). Has this changed? I can google that AP biology still does labs.
- insickness 5y agoAgreed. Most decent teachers in school incorporate some experimentation or explanation of "How do we know that...?" They often discuss who is crediting with a discovery, with an explain how the person made the discovery. But unless you delve deep into a particular field, the amount of facts students need to learn will far outweigh the ability to explain how we came to learn each and every fact.
