Challenge: Holiday Gift Detective
Objective:
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care—how cool would it be to know what was in there? No matter what holiday you celebrate, chances are, the suspense is killing you. Can you create an invention to help you figure out what gifts you might be getting, without opening them?
Useful Hints:
Think about what you do with a wrapped gift. Do you look at it? Lift it? Shake it? What clues does that provide?
Did You Know:
In 2006, 144 million pieces of mail passed through the U.S. Postal Service. Postal Inspectors use a variety of constantly-improving inventions to make sure nothing turns up in the mail that shouldn't be there (explosives, for example).
