Rubber is one of our most interesting and most important raw materials. Natural rubber comes from the juice of a tree. Synthetic rubber is made from chemicals.

Rubber is especially useful for several reasons. It holds air, keeps out moisture, and does not readily conduct electricity. But its chief importance is that it is elastic. When you stretch a rubber band and let it go, its elasticity makes it quickly spring back to its original shape. A rubber ball bounces because of this same springless. Your rubber heels absorb shock when you walk because of elasticity.
