I have pricey kits because I teach Biology to the local Co-op regularly. There are inexpensive models which work well. First is this DNA model made with construction, paper toothpicks, and washable markers. Label the construction paper backbone with phosphate and deoxyribose. Make a key for the model. Here is a model with gum drops. Here is an origami model and a paper model. I think the first model from construction paper and toothpicks, labeled works well. If your teen is struggling to understand the construction of DNA, make more models. Invest time explaining and identifying each part.
