It’s all about the hype. Especially if the thing you are looking at is basically an ordinary thing made special because of some other reason. Like this is THE patent office.

Preload the context - if you go to woolesthorpe manor, for example, make sure you do some lunctime workshops on Isaac Newton before. Otherwise everything they see will be like “yeah, so what?” Share your enthusiasm for it before you even leave #chatphysics

I think so, though the trick is to get pupil on trips early enough that they have all their options open.
