According to the research, the components of an eggshell are almost

entirely made of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) crystals. It is a

semipermeable membrane which means that air and moisture can pass

through its pores. The shell has a thin outermost coating called the

bloom or cuticle that helps keep out bacteria and dust.There’s a

special property that’s unique to all solid materials. This is the

ability to be brittle. Brittleness is a property of solid materials to

break into pieces. More examples of this include glass and ceramics.

An eggshell is almost entirely made up of calcium (Ca), carbon (C) and

oxygen (O) combined, making a compound called calcium carbonate or

CaCO₃. (Alameda, Cruz, Andrade, Pimentel, Gonzales, Olivera & Bantug,

2017)

The chalks have similar compounds to make it. That is why the

researchers thought it would be possible to make chalks out of

eggshells to make it cheaper and easy–to-do chalks using recyclable

materials. This study is made to help schools, particularly public

schools who have less money.

The chalk is a white porous sedimentary rock, a form of sedimentary

rock composed of mineral calcite. It forms under reasonably deep

marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite

plates shed belonging to the division of haptophytes. They function as

the effectiveness of eggshells as an alternative ingredient in chalk

production. The study is very efficient in these days because many

people are in need of chalk. The components of chalk are so complex

that it has the capacity to make other things beside chalk itself

Eggshell came from eggs which are said to be the universal ingredient

in cooking, therefore we use it in our daily life. However, most spate

straightaway throw eggshells after getting their yolks and whites

without knowing that these eggshells sewer be very useful and can be

turned into so legion(predicate) usable forms that can help economic

crisis and lessen the contaminant in the environment, such as

crosspatch. Eggshells can be recycled in a number of useful ways

somewhat the house, garden, or even in school(The Effectiveness of

Chicken Eggshell as an Alternative Source of Commercial Chalk, 2013).9

slap-up shipway To Recycle Eggshells stated that some people are

moving away from commercial products in favor of much instinctive

alternatives. There is no assurance that people can stomach continuous

supply of a commercial chalk that is wherefore in this study;

researchers tried to find a better, low-cost and more convenient way

of producing chalk which is peer in quality to commercial chalk. Chalk

is a soft, white, poriferous aqueous rock, a form of limestone

composed of the mineral calcite, a atomic number 20 carbonate, or

found.(James,2011)

But eggshell quality is not as much of a problem in cooler

environments as compared to hot environments. One of the contributing

factors causing poorer eggshell quality in hot weather is hens not

consuming adequate feed. This can lead to problems in body weight, egg

production, egg size, and eggshell quality if measures are not taken

to assure adequate daily nutrient and energy consumption. When

environmental temperature becomes excessively hot, feed intake

decreases and energy becomes the first limiting factor to the hen

(Butcher & Miles,1990)

Eggshell quality is less affected in cooler environments compared to

hot environments but since Philippines is a tropical country it’s hard

to find a high quality egg shell. To find a good quality shell is

necessary since the quality of the chalk depends on it. The reason why

the researchers chose this study is because they want to provide a

less-expensive product to be used in school since most of public

schools use chalks to teach students, The researchers will randomly

pick one male teacher and one female teacher as a subject. The

researchers will visit each of the five Schools namely TCCES, Cogon

Elementary school, DCPNHS, City East and Dampas School which is all

located at Bohol, Philippines for the subjects therefore, this study

same blackboards for the testing of this chalk product, researchers

will also refine the eggshells using the traditional method, like

using a mortar and pestle to grind down a few eggshells until they

reach a powder-like state without leaving a trace of large eggshell

pieces. Using coffee blenders or different kinds of technology is also

acceptable but using a few materials than using a machine which will

need a lot of money. You can save if you use recycled materials like

the eggshells which will be what the researchers will use in this IP.

We won’t need electricity as well, so it’ll save more power. The

researchers’ goal is to save money, time and effort (Eggshalk,2007)

The experiment will test the strength, shape and durability of the

chalk and these outcomes will be compared to a commercial chalk that

can be commonly found in malls and shops.

To sum it all, Chalks and eggshells have similar components

specifically Calcium Carbonate, therefore there is a high possibility

to remake chalk but only using a more cheap and recycled substance

which are chicken egg shells. You should pick wisely of the shells

since there are different kind of eggshells. The entire purpose of

this study is to help public schools and also teachers. This study is

to show everybody that there are many uses of eggshells, not only for

skincare product, cleaner, or house plant booster but also chalk. As

small stuff.
