                       Menu Bar: It contains options and commands related to the projects that you

                      create in Scratch. The options are File, Edit, Tutorials and name of the Scratch
                      project.
                       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.
