Abstract: COALESCENCE is intended to let the Chemistry students learn and for Chemistry Teachers to use as a tool in teaching the subject. This application uses Augmented Reality to present information and 3D models of laboratory equipment, periodic elements, compound elements, and planet elements. Trivia and interactive quizzes are also provided to assess the user’s knowledge. Iterative Model was applied in project development. This application was created using Photoshop, Unity 3D, Blender, and Maya. In using the application, the minimum Android OS requirement is Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and above. The test instruments used were Functionality, Compatibility, and Conformance test aligned with Android Core App Quality Standards. It got a 100% rating for the three test instruments’ used. In evaluation, Mobile Application Rating Scale was utilized with an average mean of “3.44”, the standard deviation of “0.17” and an interpretation with a “Highly Acceptable” feedback from the evaluators in all aspect of the application.
