This study utilized Newton Rabbit and Super Balance (Game-based APP) developed by Shyu & Chou (2012) as learning tools to explore whether it could improve learning attitude, motivation and enhance learning achievement in physics. This study adopted quasi-experimental research method. There were 89 high-school students from New Taipei City who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The results showed that high school students learning physics with digital game-based learning application had significant differences on learning achievement and learning motivation (p <.05) but not learning attitude. Results implied that high school students in athletic-class after the experiment significantly improved on learning achievement and motivation in physics as well.
