Magnetic Task Board Ideas

I just saw the Jarod Magnet Body  on Good Will—which made me think about using magnets for science.  Walmart has these dry erase magnetic shelf labels, which are reusable.  Here is a bit of information about magnetic task boards.  How could you use this idea?  There is quite a bit of labeling in science: cell organelles, microscopes, skeletons, rock cycle, water cycle, etc.  Have your child create the labels and use the textbook or diagram to label, say the parts of the flower.  The labels are effectively a word bank.  You can mix up the labels to help your child study before a labeling quiz—or to take a quiz with the label word bank.  I ordered a small magnetic whiteboard and labels to try this technique.  I’ll post examples of activities next week.
