Backdrop: It is a background of the stage.
                    Tabs: Scratch has mainly three tabs which are described as follow:

                       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.
