Beginning with the primitive theory of integration of differential forms, I show how integration is defined on a manifold with metric using the natural volume element. I then use Stokes' theorem to derive the curved spacetime version of the divergence theorem. Examples include conservation laws in general relativity, and the result known as Stokes' theorem in electrodynamics.
