Re: what do sensor boards do?
They allow Scratch Projects to interact more with the world around it. At the moment, the only communications Scratch has with what's going on outside the computer is microphone input, which is very limited. Chalkmarrow's great guide on sensor boards describes what sensors they have:

3. What sort of sensors does it have on it?
A button, a light sensor, a slider, a sound sensor, and four resistance sensors.
So there you have it 
Unfortunately, they're a little pricey ($50 plus shipping), so I won't be getting one.
