Abiotic Factors and Possible Experiments

An abiotic factor is a non-living factor in the environment that affect the environment.  There are many examples of abiotic factors but, two examples of abiotic factors are the sun and precipitation.  The sun affects the growth of the different plants and many of the different aspects of the environment, too much can be bad but too little can be dangerous to the environment as well.  This factor could be experimented in an easy way, using three of the same plants.  Giving them each the same amount of water and space to grow, but giving one no sunlight, one a moderate amount of sunlight, and one that has too much sunlight and see how they are each affected.  The abiotic factor of precipitation is similar to the sun in the way of too much can be bad, as can too little.  A way of experimenting this factor is similar to the one with the sun as well.  Taking three of the same plants, exposing them all to the same amount of sunlight and space, but giving one plant too little water, one too much water, and one with just enough. Both of these experiments will show the importance of abiotic factors and how they affect our ecosystems.
