                   Answer in one/two words:

                   1. What is the object that we see on the Scratch stage called?              ____________________
                   2.   What is the area where we pick and drop the blocks from the
                      Blocks Palette to create a script/program called?                        ____________________
                   3. What is a collection of a number of stacked blocks called?               ____________________



                    Quick Byte

                     You can also upload a backdrop or a sprite from the files saved on your computer.



                    Info Byte

                     The stage is 360 pixels tall and 480 pixels wide.




                  i +  SPRITE’S DIRECTION

                 You can change the direction of the Sprite by using the Turn block under the Motions block
                 menu. The                 block will turn the Sprite in a clockwise direction by the specified number

                 of degrees.  The                block  will turn  the Sprite in an anti-clockwise direction  by the
                 specified number of degrees.
                 The  value  of  the  degree  specified  in  the  Turn  block  can  be  changed  according  to  our
                 requirement.

                                                                                –90                     90

                            Clockwise                 Anti-Clockwise

                  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.
