I can answer, but I think you'll get a better one if you tell us the environment in which you're working -- RStudio, R's GUI, Rterm,... and the platform (Windows, MAC, _nix).
Very briefly, but perhaps inadequately, the script is what you write and send to R to execute or perhaps store in its workspace to be run later (e.g. functions, data); the workspace is the "container" where R stores its objects -- functions, variables, data, etc. -- that your script puts there and that R loads by default; and history is simply a record of the command that you sent to R to run. I suggest that you have a look at "An Introduction to R" for a better description of how things work than your current tutorial apparently gives.
