I don't think Peter is a 'sir' unless he has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II of England, so I suggest this: Do you have Peter's number or the number of any science teacher?

So can I use the sentence I wrote as long as I take out the "Sir".

Is this right? :

I'm thinking where I should go.

I'm thinking where I should buy a top. I'm thinking where I should go.-- These are possible in spoken English but are too casual for more formal writing, where you should insert a preposition.
