| Description | Biochar topic integrates natural, environmental and social sciences and it is an ideal topic for integrating school subjects at all grades. Several schools worldwide have reported to perform biochar hands-on projects. Pupils don't just learn what has been discovered a long time ago. They actually become scientists doing their own research and have a chance to contribute to common open-source knowledge. In this paper we present several hands-on activities related to biochar. Biochar (carbonized biomass) has been a subject of booming scientific research for the period of past decade. Specialists of many different fields became interested in biochar research mainly because of its potential for: 1. climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration, 2. soil amendment, 3. energy source. |
