Block Menu: 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.

Script: Script is a collection of a number of stacked blocks. It gives stepwise
instructions to a Sprite to do something on the stage.

Script is actually a program which gives instructions in the form of blocks. A script
must have at least two blocks.

Backdrop: It is the background of the stage.

Tabs: Scratch has mainly three tabs which are described
as follows:

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

Sprites and backdrops.
