What are the different blocks in Scratch?
Name them.
Scratch is a visual programming language that consists of different blocks that users can drag and drop to create programs. The blocks in Scratch can be categorized into the following types:
Motion: These blocks control the movement and direction of sprites, including moving them to a specific location, rotating them, and changing their size.
Looks: These blocks control the appearance of sprites, including changing their costumes, size, and visibility.
Sound: These blocks allow users to add and control sounds in their programs, including playing, stopping, and changing the volume of sounds.
Events: These blocks allow users to trigger actions based on certain events, such as when a sprite is clicked or a key is pressed.
Control: These blocks control the flow of the program, including loops, conditional statements, and waiting for a certain amount of time.
Sensing: These blocks allow users to detect certain events or conditions, such as when a sprite is touching another sprite or when a certain key is pressed.
Operators: These blocks perform mathematical operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Variables: These blocks allow users to create and manipulate variables, which are values that can be stored and used in a program.
My Blocks: These blocks allow users to create their own custom blocks by combining existing blocks.
There are 9 built-in blocks available in Scratch, Motion, Looks, Sound, Events, Control, Sensing, Operators, Variables, and My Blocks
-
Command blocks;
-
Blocks which link events with the running of the program;
-
Blocks which control the running of the program;
-
Blocks which report a certain value (function blocks).
