A program is a set of instructions written  in a particular  programming  language  to
                        complete a task.
                        Scratch uses a block-based visual programming interface where users drag and drop
                        command blocks to create scripts.
                        A sprite is the character that acts on the stage.

                        The Sprites pane shows details of the sprites and backdrops in your project.
                        A script is a collection of stacked blocks that form instructions.
                        A “surprise sprite” in Scratch refers to a feature where a random sprite is added to the
                        project from the sprite library.
                        Blocks in Scratch are like jigsaw puzzle pieces that connect vertically to create code.

                        Motion blocks control the sprite's movement, letting it move or turn.
                        Looks blocks are used to control the appearance of the sprite.
                        Sound blocks are used to control the sounds and music.
                        In Scratch, Control blocks are used to manage the flow and logic of the program.

                        Sensing blocks are used to detect various conditions and interactions within the project.
                        Operators blocks are used for performing mathematical operations, comparisons, and
                        handling strings.
                        Variables blocks in Scratch are used to store and manipulate data values.
                        Pen blocks allow you to stamp the sprite, draw lines on the stage, change the colour and
                        thickness of lines.

                      2.  A series of connected blocks is called a .............................. .
                         a. Script                                      b. Palette

                      3.  Which of the following category of blocks in Scratch is used to store and manipulate data
                         values?
                         a. Variables                                   b. Looks

                         c. Operators                                   d. Events
