I put together a “Discover the Structure of DNA” activity which traces some of the key experiments and data points (the transforming factor; Avery, Macleod, McCarty; Hershey Chase, Rosalind Franklin’s X Ray photos,Chargaff’s rules) and which culminates in students building a simple DNA model. It’s at https://learn-biology.com/curriculum/discovery-of-dna-worksheet. Let me know what you think!
