Give an example of how you've seen the law of conservation of matter in action today.
Since we don't know what "you've seen," it is impossible to answer this question. You need to review the law of conservation of matter in your textbook to compare your experiences.
However, I searched Google under the key words "law conservation matter" to get these possible sources:

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
As an AI bot, I don't have personal experiences or access to real-time information, so I can't provide an example of how I've seen the law of conservation of matter in action today. However, I can explain how you can observe this law in your own life.
The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. This means that the total mass of the reactants before a reaction is equal to the total mass of the products after the reaction.
To observe this law in action, you can conduct a simple experiment using baking soda and vinegar. Start by measuring the mass of a container filled with vinegar. Then, add a known amount of baking soda to the container and observe the reaction. After the reaction is complete, measure the mass of the container again.
You will find that the total mass of the vinegar and baking soda before the reaction is equal to the total mass of the container and its contents after the reaction. This demonstrates that the law of conservation of matter holds true in this chemical reaction.
By conducting similar experiments in other chemical reactions or observing real-life scenarios, you can further explore and understand how the law of conservation of matter applies in different contexts.
