Although‚ energy can be transformed or transferred from one form to another‚ for example: The total amount of energy in any system never changes but stays constant over time. Second example: Coal is burned‚ and then used as thermal energy for heat‚ next the steam is used for mechanical energy. Energy is never destroyed but changed to forms like thermal energy‚ gravitational energy‚ electromagnetic

Laboratory Report The title of the lab that we completed in class was The Law of Conservation of Matter. The purpose of this lab was to find out if matter can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Dalton came up with the atomic theory‚ which included the law of conservation of matter. His theory was that matter cannot be created or destroyed and that chemical reactions only rearrange the way that atoms are combined; the atoms themselves don’t change. The procedure went like this
