                                  I learnt Motion and Looks block in Scratch in previous class. Are there

                                  some more blocks available to use?


                                  Scratch  blocks  are  divided  into different  categories.  Each  block

                                  performs a different function. Let me tell you about these blocks of
                                  Scratch.



                    Block Categories

                  Blocks are the codes or commands used to create a program in Scratch. It looks like

                  a puzzle piece and each block connects with the other block to perform a task. The

                  blocks in Sprite are divided into different categories based on their functions. In
                  most of these blocks, you can change the value in the block to suit your script.

                    Motion Blocks

                  The blocks that are used to control the movement of a Sprite are known as Motion

                  blocks. They are blue in colour. Some of the commonly used motion blocks are as follows:

                  ●              block lets the Sprite move forward (in the direction it is facing) the
                     number of steps given in the text box in the block. When we write the value with

                     a minus sign, the Sprite moves backward, for example, move – 10 steps,
