Rubber

• Rubber is used to make things like tires, shoes, and toys.

Gum

• Gum comes from trees like the gum tree.
• The sticky juice from the tree is used to make chewing gum.
• Some gum is also used in medicines and in the food industry.

Paper

• Trees are cut down, and their wood is turned into small pieces.
• These pieces are then mixed with water, pressed, and dried to make paper.

Why Are Plants Important?
