The invented method uses vehicles as mascots for different subject areas. Each vehicle is named after a subject area and is decorated. The vehicles serve as a means to generate enthusiasm for the subject areas. The names of the vehicles are the Science Bug, History Bug, Reading Bug and Math Bug are bug-shaped cars that are decorated with various size magnetic spots and have a big bug-like antennae attached to the front of the car. Each bug-shaped car has its own color combination consisting of two colors. One color is for the body of the car and one color for the spots and antennae. Each subject area has an instructor that is knowledgeable in that subject. The instructors wear clothing colored to match the color of the vehicle named after the subject area that he/she teaches. The instructors teach the pre-planned lessons on a topic in a subject area. The pre-planned lessons also incorporate supporting information from other subject areas to fully address the topics. The instructors drive the vehicles to sites of instruction where students are located to perform a pre-planned lesson on a topic. The sites of instruction have or utilize concepts that will be used in the pre-planned lesson. In the presentation of the lesson, instructors use teaching materials colored to match the color of the vehicle that he/she drives. Repeating the specific color combinations of the vehicles in the instructor's clothing and teaching materials emphasizes key lesson points, generates enthusiasm, visually recognizes and classifies information by subject area and visually show how information from different subject areas is integrated to fully address a topic. An audio/visual recording is made of the lesson for students who could not be at the site of instruction.
