Augmented reality and interactive digital boards are tools that enhance students’ learning. This study shows how 95 5-year-old children in kindergarten, from three municipal schools in San Felipe, Chile, improved their scientific skills of observing, communicating, and formulating hypotheses employing these tools. Three pre- and post-tests were applied through quasi-experimental research, and it was possible to observe the level of development in each scientific skill. The results showed that the program Experiment with Physics using Augmented Reality and Interactive Digital Board is a didactic strategy that allows the mediation between teachers and children, as well as the discovery and comprehension of some physical phenomena, enhancing scientific skills.
