Welcome!
The Art Aptation website is an educational website that will teach you about Global warming and how it is affecting five endangered Australian animals. You will also learn about adpatation, Charles Darwin and evolution.
the ArtAptation class begins...
We asked a class of grade 4’s to help us think of ways in which our five endangered Australian animals could adapt and evolve in the future - and they came up with some great ideas!
We’d love you to draw some of your own ideas too and add them to our gallery space!

As we were all interested in combining the areas of science,art & media we came up with the concept of creating an educational website based on five Australian animals, adaptation and...
