Introduction - Scratch Screen
This is your Scratch screen. It is divided into 4 major parts: the blocks palette, the scripts area, the stage, and the sprite list.
The Block Palette is the area in the middle-top hand side of the Scratch program where blocks can be dragged from. These blocks fall under the following categories: Motion, Looks, Sound, Pen, Data, Events, Control, Sensing, Operators, and More Blocks.
The Scripts Area is the area on the right side of the Blocks Palette where scripts are assembled. Scripts are instructions that tell the sprite to do something like move certain number of steps and changing direction. The instructions take the form of blocks that are interlocked with one another. When the instructions are performed, they are performed in the order they were stacked.
The Stage is the background of the project. It can also be changed by adding scripts/instructions. It is always behind the sprites. Some blocks can not be used like motion and size.
The Sprite List is where you can add sprites by either creating from scratch or by importing from the Scratch Library. You can also edit the sprite you added in the costumes tab.
