                     Stage Area: It is similar to a stage in a play where everything takes place. You
                     can watch stories, play games and run your scratch projects on the stage. It

                     shows the result of the Scratch program.
                     Sprite: Sprite is an actor/object in Scratch that performs the function on stage
                     area. The default Sprite in Scratch is an orange cat.

                    Go Button: It is the green flag and when you click on it, it runs a Scratch
                     program.

                    Stop Button: It is the red button which on clicking stops the running Scratch
                     program.
                     Sprites Info Pane: It is just below the Stage area. It shows all the details of the

                     sprites and backdrops used in a project. You can add, delete, see the name and
                     location, increase and decrease the size of a Sprite and a backdrop. You can
                     also create new Sprites and backdrops in Scratch.
                     Blocks Palette: 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.
