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.





















                 Adding a Sprite

                 When you open Scratch, the default Sprite1 is the cat. The location of the Sprite cat is at
                 the centre of the stage. Let us add another Sprite to the stage.

                 To add a Sprite, follow the given steps:





















                    1  Click on the Choose a Sprite option.            2  Click on a Sprite to add it to your project.
