    This science investigatory project proposal examines using chayote sap as a glue. Chayote is a vine vegetable that produces gourd-like fruits and leaves. When sliced, chayote excretes a sticky white sap. The proposal hypothesizes that a paste made by mixing chayote sap, wheat flour, and hot water could serve as an effective and productive glue, especially for children, as an organic alternative to chemical glues. The proposal outlines procedures to extract chayote sap and mix it into a paste. It also identifies research questions about the paste's effectiveness and longevity for different objects.

    PROJECT PROPOSAL

    CHAYOTE SAP AS GLUE

    BAUTISTA, ALLISA MARIE


    BUELLA, KYLA MAY
    PAPA, FIDES BETTINA
    A. Rationale
    Chayote (Sechium edule), also known as Cho-Cho in the West Indies and Shu-Shu in
    Malawi, is a climbing vine which produces avocado-sized fruits. These gourd-like fruits (which
    are technically considered to be ‘vegetables’) can be eaten fresh like a cucumber or cooked like
    a squash. The leaves may also be cooked and eaten as a vegetable and their consistency
    strongly resembles that of cooked pumpkin leaves.
    When you eat chayote; where do you throw the inedible parts? In the trash can?
    Instead of decomposing it, why not use it in a productive way?
    Remember that white sap that is excreted when you slice a chayote is sticky and it can
    also cause stain in your clothes. In short it is adhesive.

    B. Research Questions
    This study wants to find out if the chayote saps a good and effective component in making
    paste.
    1. How long will be the effect of the paste?
    2. On what object the paste will be useful?
    3. Is the paste will be productive?p

    Hypothesis
    Some glue has a long lasting sticky effect and there are some that is only for a short time. But
    picking what glue to use still depends on the object that the glue will be used on. Making glue
    out of a sap of an inedible part of a vegetable like Chayote makes it productive as it is.

    C. Procedure
    1. Extract the sap from the chayote
    2. In a separate bowl mix the wheat flour (10g) in a hot water (20ml)
    3. Stir the mixture until it reached the desired consistency
    4. Mix the chayote sap (10g) with the wheat flour and hot water, then stir for 5 minutes.
    5. Put the mixture into an airtight container.

    Risk and Safety


    Using organic ingredients as a substitute for chemical ingredients is more safe to use as a glue
    specially for kids.
