CHAPTER I
Many schools in the Philippines do not have enough chalk for instructors
to teach their students. When writing on a blackboard, every student and teacher
uses white chalk. Whiteboard markers have been utilized with negative
environmental consequences. After the whiteboard marker runs out of ink for
affordable chalk made from chicken eggshells and seashells to compare which of
The shells of chicken eggs, which were once used for cooking and eating,
can be found in garbage cans. Some people use eggshells and seashells to
create designs in their gardens, but they may also be recycled and utilized as an
element in the production of white chalk. Normal chalk can produce a lot of dust,
which is harmful to one's health. When compared to regular chalk, egg chalk
exposes people to less dust and may not irritate their skin.
In general, this project will teach us about additional uses for chicken
expensive. Not to mention the harm done to the environment and population.
This research aims to determine the difference between the chalk made from
chicken eggshells and seashells and also to make an alternative chalk with the

Ease of use
According to West (2013), they discovered that chalk was first made into
sticks for the convenience of painters. The procedure involved finely powdering
natural chalk, adding water, clay to act as a binder, and a variety of dry colors.
The resulting putty was then formed into cylindrical shapes and allowed to dry.

getting rid of the yolk and the white. Due to the similarities on the composition

those responses have its capacity to address the expected outcome of the study.
IV. Evaluating
