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.
