Material entities are things you can touch and move around, just like toys or blocks.
Imagine you're playing with building blocks, each block is a material entity because it's made of something real, like plastic or wood. You can pick them up, stack them, and even throw them if you want! These blocks don’t disappear when you’re not looking; they stay right where you left them.
What Makes Something a Material Entity?
A material entity is anything that takes up space and has weight, just like your favorite blanket or the snack you eat after school. If you can push it, pull it, or even squish it, then it’s a material entity.
Think of a ball, when you kick it, it rolls away because it's made of something solid (like rubber or leather). But if you try to kick air, nothing happens, air isn’t a material entity because you can't really feel it pushing back like the ball does.
Examples
- your phone is a material entity made of glass, metal, and plastic
