Scope and Delimitation
The researchers will use the following materials to produce the product:
1. Rice husk
2. Sunflower seed protein
3. Cornstarch
4. Water
5. Molder
6. Oven
7. Weights
8. Meter stick
9. 2 strings of yarn
General Procedures
Mean. The mean was used to determine the durability of the seedling pot
Mean = Σx
N
Where:
Mean = average of
Σx = sum of values
N = total number of respondents
Likert Scale. the Likert scale was used for the acceptability of the seedling
pot
For interpretation of the acceptability of the seedling pot, the following
categories were used:
Scale Range Verbal interpretation
5 4.50 - 5.00 Strongly Agree = Totally Acceptable
4 3.50 - 4.49 Agree = Acceptable
3 2.50 - 3.49 Undecided = Neutral
2 1.50 - 2.49 Disagree = Unacceptable
1 1.00 - 1.49 Strongly Disagree = Totally Unacceptable

Table 2. Seedling pot at 0.5 meter high.
This table shows that the seedling pot can withstand up to
1250 g of weight at the height of 0.50 meter from the ground. The
solidifying effect of the cornstarch-water mix may be related to a
phenomenon known as shear thickening in which impacts and
other stresses cause certain fluids to change properties (Yale
University, 2017).
