Add some extra excitement to the end of the school year with this unique science program inspired by the new film San Andreas, coming to theaters May 29, which tells the story of a search and rescue helicopter pilot (Dwayne Johnson) and his estranged wife who make their way from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save their only daughter following a magnitude 9 earthquake.
