I see a trend in 'the physics of... " the idea I believe is to motivate students to see the relevance of physics to the real world in a cool context.
Tutoring some students educated this way I identify a lack of transferability of the basic concepts. Eg the student might know a lot about the physics of a baseball but can not transfer it to another context even tho the physics is identical.
It seems bass ackwards, thoughts as a pedagogical approach?
