Puzzles that are educational
Never before playing The Curse of Monkey Island did I know that hitting one in the face with a glove is the ultimate insult to a gentleman! 
Some more?

More like invitation to a duel after already being insulted by that particular gentleman in any way. And it was usually just thrown in the face - hitting was kind of extreme
What I learned from Day of the Tentacle is that George Washington was after cherry trees. Not to mention his wooden teeth 
Very educational!
PC means personal computer
I actually learned a simple recipe from Les Manely search for the king; which i had to add banana slices to a peanut butter toast sandwich , which I still eat until today .. it was told in the game that it was Elvis Presley’s fav meal (I am not sure its real or just for the game) ,but I really liked it .
I didn’t know “halitosis” was a word until I played Monkey Island 1

I feel like I got to know Dutch aviation pioneer, Anton Fokker, intimately in Leisure Suit Larry 7.
Still Life taught me how to bake cookies. Badly.
The Journeyman Project games were very educational playing them at a young age. You had to know your history in order to succeed, and the game would always help you out telling you where you went wrong.
If you played Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon then you know how chocolate is made!
Not directly puzzle related, but I find AG’s to be the best for learning language. When I started playing Secret of Monkey Island I didn’t know a word of English, in most media that would be a deal breaker (books or movies would be obsolete) but because of the way AG’s work you can just hoover your cursor over a dog and understand “so THAT’s what ‘dog’ means”.
(As you can imagine tho I got REALLY stuck at the insult sword fighting!)
As for educational PUZZLES, I guess I learned that if I ever need money it’s ok to steal a credit-card from my best friend who’s also a police officer

I didn’t have a clue what absinthe was until I encountered it in Broken Sword. I’m sure there are more things I learned from games, but, this early in the morning I can’t remember them.
I’ve learned not to say ‘il ‘akl kalb to a kebab sellar. Does that count?! 
I am baaaaaaaack!

Say what??
Anyone else learn about surveying and archeology in Fate of Atlantis? (on Crete)
No, me neither. I don’t think I understood how I solved that puzzle.
