Stimulating the curiosity of adolescents is an important goal of the design of exhibits in science and technology museums, but evaluation of curiosity level of exhibits lacks quantitative monitoring methods. Research about curiosity in psychology is introduced into the field of visitor research in science and technology museums. Student groups from grade 5 to the first year of junior high school (aged 10 to 13) are taken as participants. Smartwatches are used to monitor their emotional indices while visiting. Combined with subjective scales, it has been verified that emotional indices can be used to predict the level of curiosity of participants. On this basis, 15 exhibits showing basic science are selected from China Science and Technology Museum. The display mode of the exhibits is analyzed according to six dimensions, such as subject areas and display forms. Non-parametric tests are employed to analyze the differences in curiosity stimulation among participants of different genders and the relationship between display mode and curiosity of participants aroused by exhibits, identifying the display mode that more effectively arouses curiosity. Finally, suggestions for the design of exhibits are put forward: Enhance exhibits’ appeal to girls. Improve the interactive methods of exhibits to provide more conditions for participants to explore, observe and think independently. Further improve the multimedia presentation methods and explore more immersive and interactive multimedia display means.
