                          Stage Area: It is similar to a stage in a play where everything takes place. You
                        can watch stories, play games and run your scratch projects on the stage. It
                        shows the result of the Scratch program.

                          Sprite: Sprite is an actor/object in Scratch that performs the function on stage
                        area. The default Sprite in Scratch is an orange cat.
                          Go Button: It is the green flag and when you click on it, it runs a Scratch
                        program.

                          Stop Button: It is the red button which on clicking stops the running Scratch
                        program.

                          Sprites Info Pane: It is just below the Stage area. It shows all the details of the
                        sprites and backdrops used in a project. You can add, delete, see the name and
                        location, increase and decrease the size of a Sprite and a backdrop. You can also
                        create new Sprites and backdrops in Scratch.
                          Blocks Palette: It displays the categories of blocks based on their functions and
                        uses. These blocks within the same category share the same colour which allows
                        better distinction of the parts of a program.

                          Coding Area: It is also called the scripts area where you stack your blocks to
                        create scripts. If you save a project with a script, the script will also be saved.
                        When we click on a script, all the blocks execute from top to bottom.
