I found an educational website which is about Nobel Prize. This site provides
games in different area of education. So, I will focus in my paper about these
game·s areas (Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, literature, and Economics). Most
games can be played by kids and adults.

the word laser, but do they know what it really is? What's the difference
between ordinary light and laser and what does laser really stand for? Your
mission in this game is to collect points, CDs and snacks. Collect a star and
answer its laser question correctly, and you'll receive bonus points. At the end of

!The Transistor Recycler game and two related
readings are based on the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics, which was awarded for
the invention of the transistor. In this game, you have to figure out what items
have transistor or not. This game make you know that transistor is exist in almost
every thing around us at home, office, and even school. Then after choosing the

related reading are based on the 1963 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which was
awarded for the discovery of a catalyst making it possible to produce superior
plastics. For thousands of years people have been using silk, wool, cotton, wood
and leather. In the last century or so, we have added plastics to this list. In this
game you are to heat plastics and see what happens. There are two major
groups of plastics - some melt when heated and others don't. Find out why!

decorate a house. You can use all new exciting materials based on conductive
polymer technology. When finished with your furnishing you can place your
house among others on the Polymer Street. Here you can watch others design
and vote for the ones you like best. The most popular houses will win a garden
gnome.
If you want to save your interior design so others can have a look at it you must
get a certificate. To get that, you have to answer some questions about
conductive polymers. The answers to these questions could be found in the
following documents.

!This game is about how two countries can get
greater gains from trading with each other if they have different resources ² one
have more labor and the other have more capital (that is technical equipment
and machinery). If international trade leads a country to specialize in producing
goods that require lots of workers and little capital, such a specialization
increases wages (which benefits the workers) but decreases the income of the
capital owners. But the country has a whole benefits because the gain of the
workers is bigger than the loss of the capital owners.
