Ten high school teachers from Alabama and Florida are returning to their 2013-2014 science classes armed with new skills, materials, and inspiration.

After researchers retrieved oil-coated screens used to collect samples from surface sheens, each screen was sectioned into several pieces for analyses. Some were reserved for DNA extraction; others analyzed for drilling fluids and shared with the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration for standard petrochemical analyses.
