What is Keratin and where do we see it in nature? Whether your hair is long or short, blonde or brown, curly or straight- it’s all made of the protein keratin! Keratin also makes up horns, nails, hooves, shells, beaks, and feathers! So whether we are talking about real horse hooves, or ones made out of hair like a crazy hairstyle they are all made of keratin!

PLEASE NOTE:

  • We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.

  • Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom! 

  • Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
