[hihdgmdb] High precision science

What science has experiments whose results can be measured to high precision, agreeing with theory to high precision?  Consider concentrating on those areas early in science education, inspiring learning the mathematics to compute the theoretical result, because there is a tangible physical experiment to compare the computed answer with.

How early is too early to be teaching kids quantum field theory and quantum electrodynamics?

Unfortunately, experiments which produce replicable high-precision results are often expensive and difficult.

How early is too early to be giving kids particle accelerators to experiment with?
