Friends,

It appears that folks in the sciences are pursuing a similar idea, and calling them ConcepTests.

Here is a page on ConcepTests in Geology, with a *goldmine* of examples: http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/interactive/conctest.html

These particular examples may be a little simpler than some of us like our application activities, but this page provides a fantastic look at the *idea* of application activities as we describe them.
