The very basic high school science subjects of Biology, chemistry and physics are very related to the accident (well blow out), the outcomes (oil spill, environmental damage, water and air pollution) and attempts to control the spill and cap the well.

As engineers and scientists analyze the reasons for the spill, they will be examining the properties of the cement, and the potential for gas and oil to mix with the cement, so both physics and chemistry are involved.

The effect of wind and ocean currents on the spilled oil is being analyzed, and biology, chemistry and physics all have a part. The weathering of crude is part biological because bacteria in sea water helps break down oil.

I think if you read through the description of the oil spill, you can find many examples of where scientific investigations will play a role.
