This arcade-style quiz is designed for AQA A Level Sociology: Families and Households, which appears in Paper 2, Section A as one of the Option 1 topics. The AQA specification requires students to study: the relationship of the family to social structure and social change, especially the economy and state policies; changing patterns of marriage, cohabitation, separation, divorce, childbearing and the life course; the sociology of personal life and family diversity; gender roles, domestic labour and power relationships; the nature and status of childhood; and demographic trends in the UK since 1900, including birth rates, death rates, family size, life expectancy, the ageing population, migration and globalisation.
This version uses the same one-life arcade format, but it is stretched into four rounds of 20 questions with a single 9-minute timer across the whole run. Round 1 covers theories, social structure and policy. Round 2 covers marriage, divorce, cohabitation, family diversity and personal life. Round 3 covers gender roles, domestic labour, power and childhood. Round 4 covers demography and mixed synoptic questions across the whole topic. One wrong answer or the timer reaching zero ends the run immediately.

What Is Sociology? Understanding the Society Behind the Individual
One of the first problems sociology students encounter is that sociology appears to be about almost everything. Families? Sociology. Education? Sociology. Crime? Sociology. Social media, poverty, gender, ethnicity, religion, politics, work, youth culture, inequality and relationships? All sociology. So what actually makes sociology a separate academic discipline? The answer lies less in what sociologists study…
How do people learn the norms and values of society? Cambridge OCR A Level Sociology
Society only works because people learn how to behave around others. We are not born knowing how to queue, shake hands, say “please”, wear certain clothes to school, respect personal space, celebrate birthdays, follow classroom rules or understand what counts as “normal” behaviour. These expectations are learned through socialisation. In sociology, socialisation means the process…
