Agreed on all counts. When I got to the summary I wondered about making my own summary!
But... I learn a lot producing them... and it works as an aide-mémoire for me.

What a great question!

I'm not sure it's so relevant in the UK... APC has lots of calculus derivations.
There were some in Advancing Physics (Billy for capacitors)... not sure what there is now.

Would seem like an eminently sensible idea to me. I hope there are data somewhere to show it?
What proportion of physics departments in the US do it?

That is so cool!! Not that getting a PhD isn't cool, but yay for all those kiddos who will benefit from his passion for physics!!
Brilliant!!

Ah, gotcha! That is a big step, and yay! So helpful if it can all be joined up!
If you need any ideas about that I'd love to help!

Interesting!
Are you also talking about content with MS science teachers? Like doing free body diagrams, basics of reflection refraction, current and p.d?
They can do a lot in the 3/4 years of MS (we've had a knowledge-rich curriculum in our 5-8th grade for 4 years and it's awesome!)
