Kaeli is prepping her science fair project.

She had lots of fun poking her fingers to test her blood sugar levels to see which type of bread would cause her blood glucose levels to spike the highest.

 Kaeli had fun too, finding out what you should and should not add to water to help cut flowers last longer.
