Abstract	The periodic table is a fundamental component of chemistry education, yet many students struggle to grasp the abstract concepts and relationships among chemical elements when using traditional teaching methods. To address these learning gaps, this study introduces Wonder Table, an Android-based Augmented Reality (AR) learning tool designed to improve visualization, engagement, and comprehension of periodic elements by allowing users to scan printed markers that instantly generate interactive 3D models, animated representations, and concise element information, transforming static learning materials into immersive digital experiences. To evaluate the system’s effectiveness, the researchers conducted surveys. They administered both traditional and AR-based quizzes among elementary and high school students at Butuan Christian Community School and college students at Caraga State University, selected at random. Results revealed that students scored 22–30% higher on AR-assisted quizzes than on traditional quizzes. At the same time, survey data showed that 87% of respondents reported increased interest, 81% noted improved understanding, and 79% experienced greater motivation to study chemistry when using the tool. Beyond academic performance, students showed increased curiosity, confidence, and enjoyment, and teachers observed enhanced participation, collaboration, and more precise visualization of complex concepts. Overall, Wonder Table demonstrates that integrating augmented reality into science education significantly improves learning outcomes, strengthens engagement, and modernizes the teaching process. The study recommends expanding the AR content to include additional chemistry topics, integrating gamified assessments, and adopting AR technologies more widely across educational settings.
