NEW! Geography: Ring of Fire & Tectonic Plates (Using "Ring of Fire" Song)
By Geography & Math Made Easy
Music is inspiring and is a great way to help students find interest in the topic being studied and grasp the information. I use it often! This lesson implements June Carter Cash's and Johnny Cash's song, Ring of Fire, as part of the introduction. In addition, the lesson discusses not only the plates but also the boundaries and how they move creating new landforms. Students will, in addition, track and plot earthquakes and volcanoes.

o The learner will identify the Ring of Fire’s geographical location and will identify it as a region.
o The learner will describe the events that occur along the Ring of Fire—earthquakes and volcanic activity.
o The learner will plot recent earthquakes and volcanoes in the Pacific Ocean on a map to discover the relationship between these events and the plate boundaries.
o The learner will determine the types of boundaries that lie within the Ring of Fire
MATERIAL NEEDED:
o Copies of Ring of Fire lyrics, Johnny Cash version, written by June Carter Cash (Included)
o Technology to play the song as learners follow along with the lyrics. (Find the song on Youtube or Spotify)
o Demonstrations: Graham crackers, peanut butter, a plate, and something with which to spread the peanut butter (or substitute icing or anything creamy) (5) bowl of water (If you want you can have students take part in the demonstration, provide enough for learners to work in groups.)
o Tectonic Plate Puzzle (Included)
o Map to display the Ring of Fire (Included)
o Ring of Fire Tracking Map to identify seismic activity along the Ring of Fire. (Included)
o Technology for the learner to use to track seismic activity during the last 12 months —suggested site USGS.org
