This study aimed to promote advanced reasoning about biological inheritance in four- and fi ve-year-olds. A total of 78 preschoolers (Experimental n = 40; Comparison n = 38) completed pre- and post-test versions of two biological reasoning tasks. The Experimental condition received 15 lessons on biological inheritance, whereas the Comparison condition received regular story time activities. The results showed that the Experimental group outperformed the Comparison group at posttest. Overall, the results are an encouraging indication that an increased understanding of biological inheritance can be effectively supported in preschool years.
