I see; you're excluding everything a scientist does except their published work from the realm of science. That is far too limited a view IMO.
If the question before the house is "What should my 5th grader be taught on the public dime?", and you've decided to teach science, then rigorous pedagogy must apply.
Science does not include any and all half-baked notions floating around in the science community. There are a virtually infinite supply of such, and if you are going to give special consideration to ID, then you ought to stand ready to accept the ontological fancies of the Berkeleyites, the Baalites, the flat-earthers, the wiccans and the devil worshippers when they want your kids to learn their special notions as well.
I'd pass on that smorgusbord, myself. If you are going to describe science to children, it ought to be what most currently active scientists think is science.
