This pair of opposites is one you cannot deny. You can feel your physical skin, yet know you are made of atoms. And atoms are made of energy. Hence, we are all matter and energy.
Not only are we both matter and energy, but so is the world around us. Our favorite example is our atmosphere.

Think about a coming thunderstorm. First, the atmosphere is calm, sunny, and bright. Then, clouds start to build and the wind begins to pick up. All of the sudden, thunder lightning occur and it begins to rain. If you just notice the physical manifestation, it will look like magic.
When you look behind the scenes, that is begin to realize the dynamics of energy that create the storm, this relationship begins to make sense.
