N2 - From a design-based research study investigating rural families' science learning with mobile devices, we share findings related to the intergenerational exploration of geological time concepts at a children's garden at a university arboretum. The team developed a mobile augmented reality app, Time Explorers, focused on how millions of years of rock-water interactions shaped Appalachia. Data are recorded videos of app usage and interviews from 17 families (51 people); videos were transcribed, coded, and developed into qualitative case studies. We present results related to design elements that supported sensory engagement (e.g., observation, touch) through AR visualizations related to geological history. This analysis contributes to the literature on informal learning environments, theory related to learning-on-the-move, and the role of sensory engagement with AR experiences in outdoor learning.
