Nobel Prize Games

OK, I think this is pretty cool. Nobelprize.org, the website of the Nobel Prize organization, has a section with educational games. These games are designed to teach kids (and adults too, I assume) about the work performed by physicists, economists, etc, who earned a Nobel Prize.

For example, in 1920, Charles Edouard Guillaume was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for discovering the alloy Invar. So the site provides a game which teaches kids what alloys are, what invar is and why it is important.

There are a number of games on this site that educate the player about various discoveries or advancements in chemistry, physics, literature, etc, that earned a Nobel Prize. Check it out. It's pretty cool!
