    Now, let’s explore some other parts of the Scratch window.

                        Blocks palette: This contains various predefined blocks that are used to perform

                        specific tasks. These blocks are used to create scripts in Scratch.

                        Scripts area: This is the area where we pick and drop the blocks from the Blocks
                        Palette to create a script/program.

                        Menu bar: It is used to provide drop-down menus that offer common commands,

                        such as opening and saving a file.

                        Sprite Cursor tools: These tools are found at the top of the Scratch window.

                        This section includes four tools for duplicating, deleting, growing and shrinking
                        sprites. When you select a tool, the mouse pointer changes to match the icon of
                        the selected tool. To use a tool, simply
                                                                                    Delete           Grow sprite
                        click on it and then click on the sprite
                                                                           Duplicate                        Shrink sprite
                        on the stage. You can apply the same
                        tool multiple times to a sprite.

                        Stage modes: The stage mode buttons                           Switch to full stage

                        are located in the top-right  corner  of              Switch                        Switch to
                        the stage. These buttons allow you to                to small                       presentation
                                                                                stage                       mode
                        adjust the size of the stage and switch
                        to presentation mode.

                        Sprite list and Stage icon: These icons are

                        positioned below the stage. By clicking on
                        the Stage icon, you’ll see the Background

                        tab instead of the Costumes tab. This tab
                        allows you to import a background  of

                        your choice.

                           ADDING A NEW SPRITE ON THE STAGE

                     You can change the sprite according to your                Print new                   Get surprise
                     choice from the New sprite section. Scratch                    sprite                  sprite
                     provides three buttons to add a new sprite

                     to the stage.
