For exams: reset calculator, pen, white out, id card: qualitative observation, quantitative observation, hypothesis, experiment. Law of conservation of mass: mass/matter can be neither created/destroyed. Law of conservation of energy: in any system not involving nuclear rxns/velocities approaching the velocity of light, energy cannot be created/destroyed. Law of conservation of mass-energy: einstein"s general theory of relativity: e=mc2. Mass of a body changes as the energy possessed by the body changes. Matter may be created by the materialization of a photon into an electron-positron pair or it may be destroyed, by the annihilation of this pair of elementary particles to produce a pair of photons.
