I think you should include the game Oxygen Not Included #64

Open

Description

Oxygen Not Included
It is a science oriented colony management game.
It is about creating sustainable colony in a hostile environment by working with science and technology.

Even if the game has fictional aspects and simplifications, it still deals and simulates a lot of aspects that would be true in a real world scenario. It includes multiple concerns for managing and coordinating "people" with their human needs in hostile alien environments where you deal with forces and elements of nature.

The game simulates many aspects of physics:
Temperature
Different Gases, liquids, solids
Pressure
Vacuum

As a player
You have to contain and isolate gases, manage temperatures of different areas, supply enough oxygen for your colony, generate and store power, create a sterile and protected work environment, contain and deal with waste products, manage and build systems to pump around various gases and liquids to where they are needed. Make sure to not contaminate water supply systems.

Personally I find it very fun as a game while it also gives me an intuitive sense of many real aspects of physics and science in a not overwhelmingly complex way. I think this game may be suitable for people learning about science/physics.
