Clay Whistles
I spent much of my Student Teaching experience making Clay Whistles with my students on a variety of grade levels. Students really enjoy this project because at the end they all have their own functioning whistle. Student really get involved with this project and show a lot of enthusiasm during the process of making the whistles.
I do highly recommend that the teacher master the technique of making the whistle mechanism before attempting to teach it to any students.
