Abstract | This unit, developed by the Third World Science Project, 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 fascination 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. The unit begins with a brief consideration of the importance of salt in the diet and extraction of salt from mines/seawater. Additional topic areas considered include: salt produced from swamps at Nala (Tanzania), focusing on ingenuity of villagers in providing a living without money to buy commercial table salt; salt extraction from plants (including papyrus) by burning dried leaves; Cibwa salt production in Northern Zambia (presented as a student science project); salt production in the highlands of Papua New Guinea; use of wood to absorb salt from dilute solutions; and salt production in the Turks/Caicos islands; and procedures used to obtain salt from sea water at salt works located near Guerande in Brittany.
