Here are the bone pieces for the Great Fossil Find science lesson (see attached PDF)
https://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/teach/ensi/ensi_great_fossil_find.html by Steve Randak and Michael Kimmel
The lesson plan calls for printing the bone pieces on paper and cutting them apart, but these should work a little better than slips of paper.
The lesson is a good example of the process of science. The students pull a few pieces from an envelope and decide how to arrange them, and what the animal looked like. Their theory changes as they gain additional pieces, and later as they look at the work of other students. The skeleton is of a flying dinosaur - scaphognathus crassirostris.
I printed the complete set at 70% so it fits on my printer.
