Why is chalk boards made of slate?
Chalkboards were made of slate in the olden days because slate could be split into flat, thin pieces, and because you could use chalk on it. The chalk was easy to remove, as well. So slate was the perfect choice for chalk boards. But it could not be made into large sheets of slate. For a long, long time, chalkboards have been made with black paint, real slate, and so on. Modern chalkboards are made of a mixture of porcelain enamel with silica granules. Larger silica particles are called, "Sand". But the small silica granules in the porcelain enamel give the finished chalkboard just enough roughness that the chalk will rub off on it. Porcelain enamel would not accept chalk lines by itself. (Try using chalk on a glass or china dinner plate) The enamel-silica mixture is applied to usually 22-guage steel for durability, a pressboard backing is added, the coated steel/backing gets a frame around it, and there you have a finished chalkboard.

These abrasive particles then scratch the surface of the blackboard as you write, creating marks that can be difficult to erase.
