Abstract
This paper presents a proposed lesson plan for the instruction of the chapter "Renewable and non-renewable energy sources" in 6th-Grade Physics. The suggested teaching proposal, which was designed according to the pedagogical model of sociocultural theory, utilizes characteristics of the flipped classroom, which is an implementation of blended learning. The pedagogical benefits of the flipped classroom are analyzed with the help of literature review. The educational collaborative environment Edmodo, creativity-enhancing online tools, such as Linoit and digital tools, such as the concept map Xmind are used in the suggested teaching proposal. In conclusion, because we consider the assessment of the proposed hybrid instruction to be necessary, we propose criteria, according to which a graduated assessment scale that will be a guide to the instruction assessment will be designed.
