The increasing demands on teachers have led to the strategic integration of information communication technology, suggesting that teachers' effectiveness can be heightened through the judicious incorporation of technology into their teaching techniques. In light of this premise, this research aimed to assess the impact of blending learning teaching techniques on the academic achievement of 8th class science subject students in district Gujranwala, Pakistan. The main objective was to compare students’ achievement levels between blending learning and traditional methods. A pre-test post-test control group design was utilized, with a sample of sixty students who were randomly selected. Data were collected through achievement test, revealing blending learnings' superiority in enhancing students' cognitive skills according to Bloom's taxonomy. Results revealed the potential benefits of incorporating blending learning in development of education at the elementary level.
