Families and Households (AQA A Level Sociology) Eliminator: Can you get the high score on our quiz?

A pixel art family standing in front of their wooden house, with a man, woman, and a child, surrounded by greenery and flowers.

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.

About the author

The Sociology Guy is a pseudonym originally used by Craig Gelling when he was working in an FE College to provide an outlet for his frustrations with how he was expected to teach and strict rules around intellectual property in his former employer. The Sociology Guy name came from his early years as a supply teacher, where students would often not know his name and ask for ‘the sociology guy’ when coming to the staff room. Initially set up in 2018 as an anonymous You Tube channel, Craig has since written, recorded and presented for many different organisations and education providers. His purpose is to try and make sociology both accessible and understandable for all students and support teachers to inspire the next generation of sociologists.
