OK, please give a detailed example of the science you do.
I could give hundreds of examples. What gets me is that you think it is not possible. I must also say that you do not have to come up with theory to be doing science.
I will give 2 examples.
1. Amateur astronomy. I have actively participated in measuring variable stars. It is science.
2. I build electric motors for racing, and flying. I experiment with different ideas (theories). By changing the size, shape, amount of the wire used to make the motors, you can make motors more or less efficient, and different levels of power. I use sophisticated equipment to measure my results.
Here is a link to some of that equipment.

Here are some of my results:

Based on past runs and results, I can come with new wire/wind combinations to make a more powerful, or more efficient motor.
I will give a third example here, and that is my Ham radio license. I have designed and built quagi antennas and successfully communicated with other Ham operators through satellites around the world. By aiming my antenna at the satellite, and using it as a repeater.
I hope this qualifies me. I hope I passed the audition.
