A student claims that division always makes things smaller so 5 divided by .5 cannot be ten because ten is greater than the number 5 she started with. How do you respond?
Division does not always make things smaller.
Is it true that points are smaller than dots but bigger than specks?
Being strictly mathematical about it ... -- A point has a definition, but 'dots' and 'specks' don't, so it's kind of hard to compare them. -- A point is only a location. It has no dimensions ... no length, width, height, thickness, diameter, area, volume, etc. No measurements at all. -- So nothing can be smaller than a point. -- If a dot or a speck have any size at all ... and maybe they do because you're talking about things that are bigger or smaller than other things ... then a point must be the smallest one of all, because it has no size at all and I dare you to get any smaller than that.

Does multiplication always make things bigger?
This is a pretty technical question. The answer will vary depending on your grade level.If you are talking about magnitude (i.e., ignore the negative) than the answer is sort of (I'll explain further down).If you are allowing negative numbers,Start with 2, and multiply it by -1. 2 x -1 = -2 which is smaller than 2.Now, what about multiplying by a number between 0 and 1 (0.5 for example).Start with 4 and multiply by .5 to get 2. 2 is smaller than 4.However, you could argue that by multiplying by a decimal, you are in addition to multiplying, dividing which is why the number is reduced. By the same logic, division would always result in a number of lower magnitude. That would be the side I would tend to take as well, so:Multiplication always increases the magnitude of a number, but does notnecessarilymake it bigger. Division always reduces the magnitude of a number, but does not necessarily make it larger.I should also mention, this is controversial. People can make the argument either way (in regards to multiplication vs division).

Do minor and unimportant mean the same thing?
No. Minor means "smaller", as compared to major which means "bigger". Smaller things may be less important than major things but that does not mean that they have no importance at all, which is the meaning of unimportant.
What is the difference between nuclear fision and nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fission is the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing energy. Nuclear fusion is the combining of two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus, also releasing energy. Fission is the process used in nuclear power plants, while fusion is what powers the sun and other stars.

How and why do you measure what is around us?
If you did not measure things you could not tell if one thing is bigger or smaller than another and would not know how far away things are. You measure things with instruments.
Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
