Today we are going to look at a system we are familiar with- Earth
Hoy vamos a ver un sistema con el que estamos familiarizados- Tierra

When we change the frame of reference and looked at Earth from various points of view, we could consider various levels of systems. At the largest frame of reference we could see the entire earth system. At the smallest, we could see our school as a system.
Cuando cambiamos el marco de referencia y miramos la Tierra desde varios puntos de vista, podríamos considerar varios niveles de sistemas. En el marco de referencia más grande pudimos ver todo el sistema de tierra. En el más pequeño, podíamos ver nuestra escuela como un sistema.
