Object vs. Material

Let's figure out a tricky question! What's the difference between an object and a material?

  • An object is a thing. It's something you can use. (like a door, a cup, or a book)
  • A material is the 'stuff' that the object is made from. (like wood, glass, or paper)

So, a cup (the object) could be made from glass (the material). A door (the object) could be made from wood (the material).
