Q: When you import your data from an Excel file, you will be automatically creating variables based on the first row of the spreadsheet. The values of this row will become the variable names. You can also choose to enter your variables manually.  Click File → Open → Data... Select the .xls format for the "Files of type" Browse for and open the Excel file. Check the "Read variable names from the first row of the data" box if you want the variable names to be created automatically. This is a plain text file format (.csv) with each entry being separated by a comma. You can set the variables to be created automatically based on the first line of the .csv file.  Click File → Read Text Data... Select "All Files (*.*)" for the "Files of type" Browse for and open the .csv file Follow the prompts to import the file. Make sure that you tell SPSS that the variable names are at the top of the file when asked, and that the first case is on line 2.
A: Import an Excel file. Import a comma-separated-value file.

Q: . Place the spaghetti squash on a cutting board, and then cut the squash in half with a large, sharp knife. Remove the seeds with a spoon or a melon baller, and then cut the halves into smaller chunks that are about 3 inches (7.5 cm) long.  This should take 2-3 minutes. When the squash is done, it should be tender when you poke it with a fork. After 15 minutes, start testing it to see if it's ready. Drain the remaining water from the squash and place it in a serving dish. Season the squash with 1 tsp. of cinnamon and salt and pepper to taste. Place 2 tbsp. of unsalted butter over the hot squash and move it around as it melts. Enjoy this tasty boiled squash while it's hot.
A: Cut the spaghetti squash Place the spaghetti squash in a large saucepan. Cover the spaghetti squash with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer the squash for 15-20 minutes. Drain the squash. Season the squash. Serve.

Q: The pan should be 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) deep at least. You need a pan that can hold enough water so that it isn’t all sucked up into the glass. If all of the water gets sucked up into the glass, then air will be able to get in. Since the water is heavier than the air, it will fall back out of the glass because of gravity. The food coloring does not contribute to the science involved at all. However, it does make the water easier to see as it rises up the glass. This is especially important for a large audience that might not be able to get close to the glass. Make sure that you have a glass, a candle, and a lighter or match before starting. It does not matter what kind of match or lighter that you use. You must use a glass and not a plastic cup. Using a short candle also keeps the flame from directly touching the glass, however, the candle should be tall enough that the wick won’t get wet when you put it in the pan of water.  If you try to substitute a glass with a plastic cup, it will melt and the experiment will fail. Tea light candles work well for this experiment.
A: Fill a pan with water. Add food coloring to the water if desired. Collect all other materials needed.

Q: Using regular scissors or a knife, slice the 3/8 inch latex tube. Each grenade will require at least a 6-inch long tube. You can use longer tubes for larger grenades if you prefer. Measure each section prior to cutting for consistency. Go ahead and tie one end of the 6-inch tube into a knot. Using a measuring cup, measure ¼ cup of flour and ¼ cup of corn starch. This will be used to make the paint. Grab the food coloring and set aside. You can add this directly to the mix so it doesn’t need to be measured out. You can use non-toxic, washable kids’ paint as well if you want to save more time. A medium sized pot will be needed to create the grenade filling. Make sure you also have a syringe or spray bottle, cotter pins or bobby pins, a clamp and several washers before getting started. If these items aren’t readily available at home, they can be picked up at a local hardware store.
A:
Cut the tubing. Measure the mixture. Grab other materials.
