Abiotic Factors

Abiotic factors that effected us:
Our first abiotic factor that effected us was water.

We made a mistake by not leaving a note out over the holidays to remind our teacher to water our plants, which meant our plants where left thirsty for three weeks.
The effect of this was that we lost two plants and had to replace one.
One basil and one coriander died.

Our final abiotic factor was sunlight.

Obviously we can not control the weather, so some days it would be sunny and others not. The weather during most of the holidays was mainly overcast because of all the rainy fronts we experienced. This affected the amount of sunlight our plants got. 



Our arrangements
I managed to water the plants the day we broke up. During the holidays, both Rob and I were not able to come to school and water our plants as we were both away. But, we could have still left a message for our teacher, saying to please water our plants. Unfortunately because of this, some of our plants died. We definitely could have been more organized.  


Watering system 
Our watering system did not work as we did not make any plans. I had only watered the plants just before the holidays. This was not enough to keep the plants alive.
