The 5th graders are working hard on their clay whistles to get them to work. This is a very challenging project that I compare to do doing surgery because you have to be so precise and careful. Below is a video on how to make a clay whistle if you are interested in making one at home with polymer clay that you can bake in the oven instead of a kiln.
I will be posting some pictures of the kids working on their whistles sometime this week. I have also embedded a video about the Aztec Death whistle. When we started this unit, we learned about death whistles and other historical information about the creation and use of whistles through-out time.
