The Art and Psychology of UI/UX: How Designers Think About Color Choices.
Color Associations by John Hua. User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design are the backbone of modern digital products. From mobile apps to websites to enterprise dashboards, thoughtful design determines how users interact, engage, and ultimately feel about technology. While functionality is essential, aesthetics often define whether a product feels intuitive or frustrating. At the heart of design thinking lies a crucial question: how should colors be used to communicate, persuade, and delight users?

A Beginner's Guide to Chess
Historians have traced chess back to its origins in 6th-century India as a game called chaturanga, a four-part military game that shares little with the modern version. Throughout the centuries, chess spread through the East and reached Europe by the 1400s, where many modern rules and pieces were established. In the 19th century, formal chess federations and competitions began, ushering in a modern era in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Foundation for Everything: Mastering the Basic Concepts of Matter
To understand the complex world of chemistry, one must first master the fundamental building blocks of the universe itself: the basic concepts of matter. Imagine trying to build a magnificent castle without first understanding bricks, mortar, and structure. Similarly, grasping chemistry without a firm foundation in matter is an impossible task. Let's start by defining our core subject. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space, known as volume. From the air we breathe to the device you're reading this on, everything you can perceive with your senses is composed of matter. This simple yet profound definition is the cornerstone of all physical science.

The Sweet Science of Decay: Making Half-Life Tangible with M&Ms
Teaching abstract concepts in science is one of the educator's greatest challenges. We ask students to visualize the invisible, to trust models of things they can never see. Nowhere is this more true than in nuclear chemistry, where the mysterious processes of radioactive decay and half-life often become a frustrating exercise in rote graph-reading and formula application. Students may learn to calculate a half-life, but do they truly understand the random, statistical nature of the process? For years, I grappled with this disconnect, until I found a solution that was hiding in plain sight—or, more accurately, in a colorful candy shell. The M&M Half-Life Activity transformed my teaching, turning confusion into engagement and abstraction into delicious, tangible understanding.

3 Classroom Activities to Increase Empathy
I have been a teacher for nine years. In that time, I’ve met a wide range of students, varying in age, family background, and maturity. As a teacher, I’ve always tried to balance kindness with strict boundaries. This can be difficult in large classrooms, and even more so when there are troubled students who come from neglectful or abusive homes in the mix.
