The analogy of skin being like a rubber band is often used to describe its elasticity. Just like a rubber band can stretch and then return to its original shape, skin has a certain degree of elasticity that allows it to stretch and then bounce back, due to the presence of proteins like collagen and elastin.

How do you make a rubber band powered engine?

To make a rubber band-powered engine, you'll need a few simple materials like a rubber band, a lightweight body (like a wooden stick or cardboard), and a propeller or axle. First, attach one end of the rubber band to the body and the other end to the propeller or axle. Then, twist the propeller to store energy in the rubber band. When released, the stored energy will turn the propeller, propelling the engine forward.
