Abstract: GUEVARRA, MCKBROE U.; and QUINONES, DANE MICA R. Mussel Shells and Clam Shells as Component in the Production of Decorative Pots Applied Research Ill, Science High School, College of Education, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Engr. Willie C. Buclatin The study entitled "Mussel Shells and Clam Shells as Components in the Production of the Decorative Pots" was conducted to make use of mussel shells and clam shells in the production of decorative pots. It aimed to: (a) determine the physical properties of decorative pots in terms of actual dimension (thickness, outside dimension, height), maximum load, and texture (b) determine the level of acceptability of using clam and mussel shells in the production of decorative pots (c) determine the significant difference between the different treatments (d) determine the cost of production of the produced decorative pots. The study was conducted at Palahanan Il, San Juan, Batangas from October 2016- December 2016. The shells were washed by water and detergent soap and oven dried at 127 degrees Celsius. After that, the shells were powdered and strained to obtain the finest powder. The raw materials were mixed all together to form a homogenous mixture. The mixture was Kneaded, Cured, Threw, Retouched, Air Dried, Oven Dried, and Fired. The treatments that were used are as follows: Treatment 0 (40% Red Clay + 10% Chinese ball clay + 30% Feldspar + 20% silica), Treatment I (40% Red Clay + 10% Chinese ball clay + 10% Feldspar + 20% Silica + 20% Mussel Shells), Treatment 2 (40% Red Clay + 10% Chinese ball clay + 10% Feldspar + 20% Silica + 10% Mussel Shell + 10% Clam Shells), and Treatment 3 (40% Red Clay + 10% Chinese ball clay + 10% Feldspar + 20% Silica + 20% Clam Shells). The physical properties of the produced decorative pots under TO, T 1, T2, and T3 were tested. Based on the result T3 (40% Red Clay + 10% Chinese ball clay + 10% Feldspar + 20% Silica + 20% Clam Shells) had the highest mean score in terms of texture and level of acceptability. It was proven that T3 (40% Red Clay + 10% Chinese ball clay + 10% Feldspar + 20% Silica + 20% Clam Shells) was as acceptable as commercial pots. The produce decorative pots with mussel shells and clam shells were smooth and highly acceptable. The significant difference among treatments was obtained. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significant differences among the treatments. The result in ANOVA shows that there is no significant difference among the treatments in terms of thickness, outside dimension, height, max load, texture, and level of acceptability.
