Making a Whistle from a Straw

ar stu

If you enjoy making music, try creating a whistle from a drinking straw. First, obtain a straw in a color
and/or design that you like and a sharp object (scissors, for example). If you have previously used the
straw for drinking, you will need to wait for it to dry out before continuing. If you have not used a straw
is

and the straw has a wrapper, remove it. Next, cut a slanted line on one end of the straw with the
Th

scissors; this will become the bottom of the whistle. Using a sharp object such as a knife or scissors, poke
two or three holes on the top of the drinking straw, being careful to not allow the pointed object to go
through the entire straw. Now, it's time to make music! Place the part of the straw that you did not cut
into your mouth, inhale, and then exhale the air into the straw. Once you hear sounds, try moving your
sh

fingers onto and off of the holes to see if the pitch changes. If there aren't any changes in the pitch, try
making another straw; sometimes it takes a few tries before you find the one that plays well!

Now, answer these questions, using the paragraph above.
