Scope and
Limitation
The researchers conducted an
investigatory project to
determine between which two
set-ups of 210 grams and 310
grams of eggshells would be
better in making solid blocks.
 Due to the simplicity of the
experiment, materials are
obtained in the respective
houses of the researchers
particularly the white chicken
eggshells, sand and containers.
 The researchers only focused their
findings and the experiment itself in
comparing which of the two set-ups
is better in terms of durability,
density, and resistance in/on water
and is not, therefore, compared to
any commercially-made blocks.
 The researchers’ stated ideas are
the only bases of the investigatory
project. Anything more than these
ideas, specifically the texture,
aesthetics and further
experimentation on the buoyancy of
the blocks were not covered by the
experiment.
