Set the scene by having students read the text on the screen and then watch the video of the drone in Fukushima.

Three years after the biggest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl struck the east coast of Japan, many regions still lie desolate.

The clean-up effort is hindered due to the continued risk of radiation to human workers and, as a result, drones have been sent in to record the destruction.

During this mission, one drone captured the sheer extent of the devastation as it swept across the Japanese ghost town of Tokioma.

After reading the article and watching the video, ask students to use mini whiteboards, to redraw the diagram to show what they believe would have been the impact on Japan’s PPF. The diagram on the board can be used to adapt the PPF based on student feedback or to show the correct answer.
