I put together a chronological schedule for Miller-Levine Biology including labs. My child will be reading the Macaw i-Pad edition and mostly using labs from the Illustrated Guide to Home Biology Experiments and the Miller & Levine Biology Laboratory Manual A If you look on this schedule you will see “complete questions” quite often.
The i-Pad text has short quizzes at the end of a section and the end of a chapter. When my child completes the quiz on the i-Pad, it automatically scores them. These are mostly for my kid to use to assess how well she has understood the material. I don’t plan on any tests or any other quizzes. My kid learns well through reading and labs alone so I don’t find the need at the moment. If I was using this book for high school credit I might have chapter and/or unit tests though.
