This is a wealth of conceptual/quantitative activities that have been designed with findings of physics education research in mind
Physics Ranking Tasks
Eds: Tom O’Kuma, David Maloney, Curt Hieggelke.
These are excellent items either for tests or as a basis for in-class discussion. They probe conceptual understanding rather than quantitative problem solving and we use them fairly extensively.
To see a sample of ranking tasks ("classroom tasks inspired by physics education research": TIPERS): Click on TIPERS
To order the book or an examination copy:
Visit Prentice-Hall: .
Click on physics/astronomy, then on elementary physics: algebra-based
physics, then on RANKING TASK EXERCISES IN PHYSICS: student edition. ($30) You can download sample ranking tasks there.
Or visit and search for RANKING TASK EXERCISES IN PHYSICS. I quote:
"Although these materials are copyrighted by Prentice Hall, professors have
the right to use the materials for noncommercial educational purposes and
can copy or have copied the materials in the book for the students in their
classes.... We have included a CD with this book that has a pdf version of
each ranking task exercise in 8 1/2 x 11 format to further facilitate
professors' use of these materials ..."
