OLOGY CHALLENGE
Create a Time Capsule
Every object tells a story. What stories would your objects tell about you and the time you are living in right now? This month, the Museum’s science website for kids invites you to create your own time capsule and share your work with special guest judges: three Museum archaeologists. Submit your entry by July 26 for a chance to be featured.
