What is ScratchJr?
ScratchJr is a visual programming application designed for young learners. It allows users to create stories, animations, and games using programming blocks.
What is a Sprite?
A sprite is a character or object in a ScratchJr project that performs actions by following programming instructions.
What is the Green Flag?
The Green Flag starts or plays the ScratchJr project and runs the programmed instructions.
What are Motion Blocks?
Motion Blocks are programming blocks used to control the movement of a sprite.
What is a Project?
A project is the work created in ScratchJr. It can contain sprites, backgrounds, programming blocks, stories, and animations.
What is the Stage?
The Stage is the area where the project is displayed and played. It shows the sprites, backgrounds, and animations.
What is a Programming Block?
A programming block is a colorful coding piece that gives an instruction to a sprite.
What is the Script Area?
The Script Area is the area where programming blocks are connected and arranged to create a sequence of instructions.
What is the Pages Panel?
The Pages Panel is the area used to add, organize, and switch between different pages or scenes in a project.
This is the block that allows how quickly or slow the sprite moves.
Speed Block
What is a Programming Platform?
A programming platform is a tool that allows users to create programs using coding instructions. ScratchJr is an example of a programming platform.
What are Trigger Blocks?

What is the difference between the Stage and the Script Area?
The Stage is where the project is displayed and played, while the Script Area is where programming blocks are connected to create instructions
What is the relationship between a sprite and its code?
The code contains the instructions that tell the sprite what actions to perform.
What does it mean that every sprite has its own code?
It means that each sprite has its own set of programming instructions. If two sprites need to perform different actions, each sprite must have its own code.
