The strategy encourages task-based learning which includes specific tasks for the pupil to be completed within a specific time through consequent events which are executed through specific activities. The purpose of the present study was to find out the effect of blended leaning strategy on achievement in Biology and social and environmental attitude of secondary school students of Kerala.
