i + UNDERSTANDING BLOCKS
Blocks are puzzle piece shapes that are used to give instructions to the computer. A collection of
inter-locked blocks, called script makes a code in Scratch. When you double-click on the script,
Scratch runs the blocks from top to bottom. To use a block, simply select it and then drag it onto
the scripts pane. To remove a block from a script, just drag it to the left, away from the scripts pane.
