Tabs: Scratch features three main tabs:
• Code Tab: It lists blocks organised into categories such as Motion, Looks, Sound, Pen, Events,
Control, Sensing, Operators, Variables, and My Blocks, with each category, colour-coded.
• Costumes Tab: It enables you to modify and customise the appearance of sprites and
backdrops.
• Sounds Tab: It lets you add and edit sounds for sprites and backdrops.
Go Button: It executes your Scratch program.
Stop Button: It halts your project from running at that moment.
Blocks Palette: It contains all available coding blocks, organised by function (such as Motion,
Looks, Sound, Events, etc.) and colour-coded for easy identification.
Coding Area: This is the central part of the Scratch window where you create your programs
by dragging and connecting blocks.
Script: A sequence of connected blocks that provides step-by-step instructions for a sprite’s
actions on the stage.
Stage Area: The stage is the area where your sprites (characters or objects) perform the
actions you program.
Sprite: An object that appears on the Scratch stage; the default sprite is a “cat.”
Backdrop: It allows you to change or edit the background of the stage.
Sprites Info Pane: It displays information about the sprites and backdrops in your project,
allowing you to add, delete, resize sprites, or change the backdrop.
