Abstract	The Third World Science Project (TWSP) is designed to add a multicultural element to existing science syllabi (for students aged 11-16) in the United Kingdom. The project seeks to develop an appreciation of the: boundless facination of the natural world; knowledge, skills, and expertise possessed by men/women everywhere; application of knowledge and skills to solve the practical problems of everyday life; impact of modern technology in the world; and the influence of the cultural background on the perception of knowledge, problems, and solutions. Provided are 18 science projects completed by students at the Lubushi Seminary (Northern Zambia) for use in TWSP units as well as to illustrate personal ideas about science in action. Projects include: chiteme (shifting cultivation); fishing in Lake Bangwelu; making Nshima (meal) from bananas; oil-making from castor seeds; Kanchine brewing; making a bark bag "ulupu"; making salt from mud and salt; Cibwa salt production; making fire by friction; bellows making; charcoal burning; iron smelting; constructing a mumamba (Bemba musical instrument); constructing a sekese (instrument to produce sound); drum making; constructing a model of a traditional African house; and a discussion of African medicine. A brief description of Lubushi Seminary, its science department, and science requirements is included. (JN)
