Sammanfattning: The purpose with this study is to examine how augmented reality can be a support in children's communication and meaning making when it comes tothe phenomenon of flying. The study began with an activity being planned and designed with the support of the social semiotic perspective. In the planning phase, it was decided that the mobile application Quiver AR would be used as it had a simple graphical interface and was easy to handle for the purpose of the activity. The application uses special color images that are scanned and then converted into a three-dimensional animated image in the applicationThe study was conducted through an unstructured video observation in which two children and an educator participated. In the activity, the children had to start by defining the phenomenon of flying with the support of leading questions from the educator. In the second phase, the educator introduced the application to the children and picked out the prepared color pictures belonging to the application.What emerged as a result of the data collected was that the Quiver app can be used as a supportive tool as it enhances children's social actions and communication with each other about the physical phenomenon of flying. This became clear when the children interpreted the images shown in the Quiver application several times during the activity and were able to further develop their communication. The study also showed that augmented reality does contribute to the children’s meaning-making during the time they use the application.
