Yes, as you stretch the rubber band you are imparting potential energy. When you let it go, that potetial energy is converted into kinetic energy as it forms back into its original shape.

Compressed springs are what kind of energy?

The potential energy of a spring is defined by this equation: U=.5kx2 U= potential energy (in joules) k= the spring constant x= the displacement of the spring from equilibrium. (the amount that the spring is stretched or compressed) This equation tells us that as a spring is compressed by a distance x, the potential energy increases proportionately to x2
