Abiotic Factors Experiment Idea
One abiotic factor that one could experiment with is temperature. To start off a small experiment that one could do with temperature, one could have two of the same kind of flowers that haven't completely matured yet. The first could be put into an isolated cool space and the second could be put into an isolated warm space. Each plant would have the same amount of light, water, and soil. The temperature would be the dependent variable. The goal would be to see the effect that the different temperatures had on the plants. Another abiotic factor that one could experiment with is light. Again, one could have two of the same kind of flowers that haven't fully matured yet. This time the dependent variable would be light, so the plants would be put into two spaces, each with the same temperature, soil, and amount of water, etc. The only difference would be that one space would have a lot of access to sunlight, and artificial lamps, whereas the second space would have no access to sunlight. The goal in this case would be to see the effect that different amounts of light have on the same plants. These are two simple experiment plans that test abiotic factors.
