•  Back Drop: It is a background of the stage.

                  •   Tabs: Scratch has mainly three tabs which are described below.
                        Code Tab: It contains block categories and the list of blocks in a category. Some block categories
                        are—Motion, Looks, Sound, Pen, Events, Control, Sensing, Operators, Variables,  and My

                        Blocks. All block categories are of different colours. In scratch, each block performs a task in a
                        project. The blocks connect to each other like a jigsaw puzzle and create scripts.
                        Costumes Tab: In this tab, you can add and make changes in the appearance of the sprites and

                        backdrops.
                        Sounds Tab: In this tab, you can add and make changes in the sounds of the sprite and backdrop.























                         BLOCK CATEGORIES

                  The blocks in Sprite are divided into different categories based on their functions. In most of these
                  blocks, you can change the value in the block to suit your script.

                       Motion Blocks

                  The blocks that are used to control the movement of a Sprite are known as Motion blocks. They are
                  blue in colour. Some of the commonly used motion blocks are:


                               block lets the Sprite move forward (in the direction it is facing) the number of steps
                    given in the text box in the block. When we write the value with a minus (–) sign, the Sprite moves
                    backward, e.g., move – 10 steps            .

                                  block lets the Sprite turn in clockwise direction by the given degrees and
                    block turns Sprite in anti-clockwise direction by the given degrees.


                      To make the Sprite jump to a new position on the stage, use             block. This block gives the
                    x and y position of the Sprite on the stage.
