Definition - What is A Material Post in Google Classroom
A Material is different than an Assignment because it gives students access to a resource but does not call for further action so there is not an opportunity to leave specific feedback to students.
Additionally, students will not have the ability to turn in the material. It is purely an item for them to view.

Lesson Resources
Add any needed resources (links, articles, videos, etc.) that students will need to complete an assignment together. Group these resources in the order they are needed.
Examples

Link to a specific website for information Encyclopedia Britannica, BCSD website, Khan Academy video, etc.
Link to BCSD Student Chromebook page for students to quickly access Smarty Ants, Achieve3000, or MyOn.
