What is a time capsule?

What is a time capsule?

Time capsules are often a collection of different items considered valuable or important placed in a tube or box, burried or hidden, with the intention that they will be opened or accessed at a future date.
 The ancient Greeks & Romans did not leave a time capsule exactly but left many items from their time that help us understand how they lived & behaved.

What things have you found to be important during your life that you have chosen for your class time capsule?  Do not forget to explain why it is so important now and why you think its important for the furture? Describe the colour, shape, size & smell. You may also add the item, a picture or drawing.


The clips below are people opening capsules from long ago... what did they find?
