Art with Oil in Kitah Gimmel

The miracle of oil allows us to shine our candles bright throughout the days of Chanukah. The students at IJP were so lucky to dive deeper into the properties of oil by experiencing an Olive Oil Factory.

So captivated by the expert!

We can fry dough in oil to make doughnuts!

We love science! It allows us to explore, ask questions, learn cause and effect, and try some new things out. We also explored the properties of oil by mixing it with food coloring and water. But, did the oil actually mix with the water? What about the colors, do they mix up too? 


The oil floated to the top!

"So many colors!" - Elliot
"Oil will start a fire. It looks like a jelly fish!" -Parker
"It's turning into fire!" -Leora
"Yellow and blue make green, I love green!" - Asher

"I can squeeze just a little drop!" -Erez

"Will it stay in the oil?" - Orli

Total focus.


"It looks like a falling bush, beautiful" -Mason

"I like all the colors!" -Yonah
Now it's time for some science plus art!  Using a the simple components: a pan, cardstock paper, oil, and food coloring, we made colorful oil prints. First we added drops of color to oil using pipettes
















The End Result: Colorful and beautiful
