Wood is a material which floats on the water, and so we also use it to make boats. Rubber is an elastic material.

It is obtained from a sticky liquid that comes from the trunk of the rubber tree. Jute is a strong and bendy natural fibre. It is produced primarily from the plants. Plastic is a waterproof, made from petroleum. Plastics are harmful to the environment, as it is non -biodegradable material. Copper is a metal and a good conductor of electricity.
