Key Topics to Revise

1

Components of the Scratch Editor

  • The Scratch editor has several parts: Stage, Sprite, Script Area, Block Palette, and Backdrop.
  • The Stage is where the animation or game runs. It has coordinates from (-240, -180) to (240, 180).
  • A Sprite is a character or object that performs actions on the stage. The default sprite is a cat.
2

Blocks and Their Categories

  • Scratch uses color-coded blocks grouped into 10 categories.
  • Each block has a specific shape and function.
  • Motion blocks (light blue) control movement like 'move 10 steps' or 'turn 15 degrees'.
3

Types of Blocks by Shape

  • Hat Blocks (e.g., 'when green flag clicked') start a script. They have a rounded top.
  • Stack Blocks (e.g., 'move 10 steps') are the main action blocks. They connect above and below.
  • C Blocks (e.g., 'repeat 10') are container blocks shaped like 'C'. Other blocks go inside them.
4

Creating Scripts and Programs

  • Always start with an Events block like 'when green flag clicked'.
  • Use 'forever' loop to keep actions running continuously.
  • Use 'if on edge, bounce' to prevent sprites from going off-screen.
