This study examines the effectiveness of blended learning in improving academic achievement and student engagement in physical science among secondary school students (Classes IX–X). Blended learning integrates traditional classroom instruction with digital learning resources to enhance learning experiences. A mixed-method research design was adopted, involving both quantitative and qualitative approaches. A sample of 200 students was divided into control and experimental groups. Pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed using statistical methods. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the academic performance and engagement levels of students exposed to blended learning. The study highlights the potential of blended learning as an effective pedagogical strategy in secondary science education.
