S ummary . This investigation sets out to determine whether scientific concepts which have been previously acquired in one of the languages, English, Swahili or Kikuyu by multilingual Kenyan secondary school students can be transferred to the other two languages. The investigation is based on practical lessons using worksheets translated into the three languages. The results demonstrate that transfer is possible to the vernacular languages from English and between the two vernacular languages
