Stop Button: It is the red button which on clicking stops the running Scratch
program.
Backdrop: It is the background of the stage.
Sprites Info Pane: It is just below the Stage area. It shows all the details of
sprites and backdrops used in a project. You can add, delete, see the name and
location, increase and decrease the size of a sprite. Similarly, you can add or
change the backdrop.
Block Menu: It displays the categories of blocks based on their function and
use. These blocks within the same category share the same colour for better
distinction of the parts of a program.
Script: Script is a collection of a number of stacked or assembled blocks. It gives
stepwise instructions to a sprite to do something on the stage. Script is actually
a program which gives the instructions in the form of blocks.
Coding Area: It is also called the script area where you stack or assemble 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.
Tabs: Scratch has mainly three tabs which are described below:
• Code Tab: It contains block categories and the list of blocks in each
category. It has following block categories— 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.
