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

               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 which allow
               better distinction of the parts of a program.

                 Coding Area: It is also called the script 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.

                 Script:  Script  is  a  collection  of  a  number  of  stacked  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. A script must have at least two

               blocks.
                Backdrop: It is a background of the stage.

                 Tabs: Scratch has mainly three tabs which are described below:

              •  Code Tab: It contains block categories and the list of blocks in a category.
                 Some block categories are— 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.
