A spatula is basically a flipper; you would use it for flipping things like eggs, French toast, or anything else that you need to turn over while essentially maintaining its flatness.

Also, a rubber spatula might be used most often in baking. It can be used to scrape down the sides of pots or pans. A typical application would be when using a mixer. You would want to get any batter/mixture off the side of the mixer bowl and back down where the mixer will contact it.
Another use for a rubber spatula would be folding a mixture. Folding is a gentle lifting and turning over of a mixture. This is used when you don't want to "beat up" the mixture or when it's important to keep the mixture light and airy.
