There is an IQ prerequisite for that which most students are unable to fulfill.
The lower-IQ version of scientific thinking are the good-oldie, common-sense proverbs and maxims like "measure twice, cut once". They have a problem of being kinda boring and "uncool".
Kipling's poem The Gods of Copybook Headings is a good example what a low-IQ version of scientific thinking could be. I think it was abandoned because it was "uncool" and "boring".
