Evidence suggests numerous negative health impacts stemming from unsustainable lifestyles. While sustainable choices have grown in awareness and recognition, public perception continues to emphasize their upfront costs over long-term benefits. Museums, due to their educational mission, are in a position to enhance the quality of conversation surrounding civic issues, by providing a voice of reason and authority; thus, they may be effective advocates for sustainable lifestyle choices. However, changing human behaviors is a monumental undertaking. Focusing behavioral modification efforts on the next generation of consumers that have the potential to yield cumulative long-lasting effects could provide a more successful outcome. This research explored how exhibition design in science and technology museums can persuade and educate middle-school-aged children on sustainable lifestyles for long-term behavioral change. More specifically, the purpose of the study was to explore how exhibition design can teach and persuade middle-school-aged children to achieve sustainable lifestyles by promoting a sustainable design message, implementing learning and persuasion theories, and employing interactive exhibit types. Data was collected through visual documentation, behavioral mapping, and interviews with museum staff at two science and technology museums. Observations and interviews revealed the use of constructivist learning tactics such as active learning and scaffolding. During the observations, visitors lingered at those exhibits employing features that were haptic and poly-sensorial in nature. Additionally, both museums strive to make personal connections through demonstrations, discussions, hands-on activities, and scavenger hunts in their exhibits. These findings suggest museums should incorporate a more multi-sensory environment to motivate, engage, and educate diverse learning styles through physical stimuli or virtual stimuli.The interviews, behavioral mapping, and visual documentation data offer insight into how museums can convey a sustainable message to engage middle-school-aged children. Recommendations for museum staff and educators are made to serve as guidance for exhibiting sustainable topics and educating middle-school-aged children on how to incorporate sustainable lifestyles in their daily lives for long-lasting change.
