Most of the materials here are activities where you can check your understanding of sociological ideas and research. This is a site to use after you have been taught a topic or have done some reading from a textbook.

Multiple-choice quizzes give you the best feedback, but you can also check your score on matching items, crosswords, short-answer and gap-fill tests, hangman exercises,timed word searches, drag-and-drop exercises, concentration games, revision jigsaws and decision-making exercises.

There are tests and exercises on:

• The Individual and Society/Introduction
• Families and Households
• Research Methods
• Education
• Stratification
• Poverty
• Sociological Perspectives

There is also a smaller GCSE section. This consists of quizzes, hangman, matching and wordsearch games, and jigsaws.

This is a password-protected section of the site for students from Cadbury, Brighton and Hove and Itchen colleges.

Your teacher will have the username and password, which is the same for all students.
