Application questions

I've noticed that students are much more apt to apply knowledge/create application questions.  When were learning about circuits last week, Davontae raised his hand and said, "Mr. Welch I'm going to make a uh...(looks up at Bloom's Taxonomy chart) an application.  When I saw my dad jump our car, he had to put one of the wires on either side of the battery.  That's like what we did with the circuit."  In social studies we were studying the Freedom Rides when Tyshaun asked: "I wonder how are the Freedom Rides similar to the sit-ins?"
