Integrating Discovery-Based Research into the Undergraduate Curriculum:

• 10-20 minute projects
• Big data mining leads easily to new discoveries or insights
• Potential of instructive follow-up with statistical-significance analyses (χ² tests ...)
• Research exploration of the search variables can be distributed amongst a group of students
• Can have strong relevance to lecture course content
• Scope for innovative visual display (Tablets/3D printing/VR/AR)
• Scope for pushing boundaries of science communication beyond the normal research journals (Wikis, Blogs, etc)
