Natural sciences can be difficult to grasp because physical and chemical phenomena can take place across time and length scales that are beyond the reach of human perception. This problem is particularly true for students attempting to learn about microfluidics, a discipline that involves intricate engineering methods and fluid phenomena that are unintuitive and unique to the microscopic scale. New learning paradigms that combine established principles from the learning sciences and mixed reality (MR) technologies may facilitate the understanding of microfluidics and help connect the experimental methods to the underlying physical and chemical processes. Yet only a few studies have implemented learning sciences principles into the design of MR experiences for university laboratory courses. We thus created AL
