Wind and rainfall intensity ought to be fairly easy to test, too - for
short-term and long-term effects.

Voltini, Day length, light intensity, humidity, temperature, light wavelength,
soil moisture, soil nutrient concentration, soil composition, nutrient
composition in water, are all fairly easily manipulated. Effects on plant
growth; seed germination; fruiting response; seed production; leaf size,
number, and chlorophyl content; activity schedule of animals; nutritional
content of plant parts; depths to which roots grow and animals burrow in soil
all can be measured as responses. Good luck. David McNeely

Dear friends,
I am preparing a course about teaching ecology for kids. The students in the
course are teachers from public shools and one of the topics is about abiotic
factors. I would like to suggest and develope simple experiments about the
effect of abiotic factors on plant and animals. In general I am using
experiments about seed germination and ant behaviour but.... I would like to
hear about other ideas too! Thanks for any help!
