2. Rationale
This study aims to produce a cheaper foot powder for consumers to have. We can achieve this goal by making a home made product out of waste materials such as the calamansi peelings which are usually discarded after using.

3. Rationale
We can achieve the goal of providing a cheaper foot powder by making a home made product out of waste materials such as the calamansi peelings which are usually discarded after using. Usually, we throw the peelings away and we usually ignore its uses. So, these waste materials can be placed in a separate bag for future uses.

4. Statement of the Problem
Main Problem:
-Can foot powder from Calamansi Peelings be produced?
Sub-problems:
1. Is the product cheaper than the commercial powder?
2. Will the foot powder from calamansi prevent foot odor?
3. Can this product absorb enough sweat?
to prove that the product is cheaper, we only asked for calamansi peelings from house to house. the things that we bought were the materials for the equipment only

5. Methodology
Drying the Calamansi Peelings The calamansi peelings need to be dried so it would be possible for us to pound it. These will be air dried for at least 2 days and sun dried for at least 5days.

6. Methodology
Pulverization of the Peelings The dried peelings will be pounded and those which are not totally dried up yet will be sun dried for one more day.

7. Methodology
Preparation of Equipment The first thing to do is to make the tester. The clips will be attached to the pieces of wood first. Afterwards, two sides of the funnel will be nailed to the pieces of wood. To keep the equipment balanced, a piece of plywood will be nailed at its base.

8. Methodology
Equipment Expectation: Wet Cloth Preparation

9. Methodology
Wet Cloth Preparation 20ml water will be poured in the 8.5x11in piece of Oxford Cloth. After this, 10mg of foot powder will be sprinkled. This step and the following step will be repeated thrice per type of foot powder.

10. Methodology
Water Collection Clip the cloth on both clips. Turn the Axle for 15times. Measure the amount of water gathered in the beaker under the funnel. After this, the data gathered during the experimentation will be compared through a statistical test.

11. Flow Chart air dried for 2 days and sun dried for 5 days.
Calamansi Peelings will be dried and will be pulverized.
the equipment making and the cloth-wetting process will be done
Equipment preparation
the water gathered from both types of foot powder will be compared through a statistical test
Data Gathering

12. Experimental Set-up Type of Foot Powder Used Replication Number
Data of Water Collected
Calamansi Foot Powder 1 ml 2 3
Commercial Foot Powder

13. Data Gathering
During the adsorption test, the wheel and axle will be turned for fifteen times only. To get the data, there will be a container (specifically, a beaker) under the equipment. The beaker will be used so that it would be easy to directly have the exact measurement of the water extracted. It is expected that there would be different data based on the type of powder used.

14. Statistical Tool
This type of test will be used because we have only two populations in this study.
