Hi Shannon,
I am Susan, also in Bay City.
Raw materials are items that we as humans can obtain from nature. They exist in nature but we must fine a way to obtain them, mine them, refine them, process them etc until they can be used by our population.
They have been called natural resources, but some do not like that title because they are actually only available with some human intervention to get them.
They can be called commodities, but not all.
Examples: petroleum/crude oil, lumber (MAJOR in Bay City's development and history!!!), latex, coal, iron ore (in our UP), other heavy metals such as copper (in our Kewenaw peninsula) and many others!!
I am currently applying to be one of the tutors at Wyzant, and I tutor many subjects through other locations!
I hope this helped!
Susan
