I actually agree with this.
Feels bad, man.
Raising competent adults is the goal, right? In your shoes I think I talk to her about lying, make sure she understands the assigned material, and then wonder why she didn't feel comfortable talking to me about the assignment in the first place.
Imho/ymmv a 15 year old girl needs a safe space to talk more than a disciplinarian. You've got safe sex, body image, drugs, drinking, etc on the immediate agenda
...if she can't even come to Mom and Dad over frivolous bio assignment...you've got a problem.
