This study explores the impact of a Place-Based Education(PBE) multi-representational teaching module on junior high school students’ learning outcomes in the unit of torque and rotational motion. Torque and rotational motion are among the core concepts in the junior high school science curriculum and are considered abstract and challenging topics. The teaching module integrates students’ everyday life experiences and local culture—such as the fan-shaped garage—and employs multiple representations for instruction. The results show that this approach enhances students’ understanding of torque and rotational motion concepts and improves their learning outcomes. The study adopts an action research methodology. Participants were two regular ninth-grade classes from a junior high school in an urban area in central Taiwan. Data collection included team meeting records, teacher teaching journals, and a torque and rotational motion achievement test. Findings indicate that the research team, through literature analysis and hands-on practice, designed science instruction that incorporates local culture and everyday experiences, using multiple representations to effectively enhance students’ learning outcomes. In terms of quantitative analysis, the post-test scores from two teaching cycles were significantly higher than the pre-test scores. Qualitative analysis revealed the following: Knowledge aspect: Teachers incorporated local features, hands-on activities, and inquiry-based learning. Using diagrams and other multiple representations, students were able to apply torque concepts to real-life situations. Attitudinal aspect: Students’ learning motivation increased, prompting them to reflect on the scientific concepts embedded in their surroundings. Skill aspect: Students could apply the principle of levers in daily life and use multiple representations to communicate with peers, thereby enhancing their interaction skills.
