Today, with changing lifestyles people and the gradual move away from nature by living in modern buildings, Relationship between children and nature has fallen and mechanical properties of modern buildings have a negative impact on their behavior. Green Schools prepair students to deal with social and environmental developments and they connect students with the community and environment. Modern schools in the developing countries are formed on the basis of a mechanical ideology.   These buildings are large machines that enclose users in frameworks and control user behavior within the space. Ultimately, if we look at these schools as a big system, this system attracts different people and, after educating them, will deliver people with similar attitudes to the community.  Here are two important issues: first, no one in this world is created the same, and everyone is different, and the other is that these schools do not have the flexibility to flourish the various talents of the students and deal with everyone in the same way Green schools are part of society that Raises students' readiness to face environmental and social changes. These schools are the first social spaces where children enter and Raise the relevance of school students with the community and the environment. Human schools are made exclusively for the education of children. In this tutorial, the student sees a different education based on his interests. In these schools, students do not see the same education and they do not force them into specific training.   The educational spaces of these schools are designed in such a way that students discuss the phenomena individually, under the supervision of the teacher, and obtain their findings through experience and experimentation. this schools have diverse spaces that allow students to perform different activities. These spaces are designed to discover and develop different students' talents.The results of these schools are diverse people whose talents have flourished. The flexibility of the spaces in these schools causes the various activities that each person performs according to his or her interest. Questions such as (What are the advantages of human schools to mechanical schools? or How can plants convert modern school to human schools?) This study deals with this question and the paper tries to answer this question. In order to answer these questions, Tests were performed on boys' primary school in Sanandaj city to assess the impact of plants on students in different place of school. Research Method: This research was conducted over a period of about nine months and the research data (initially with the collaboration of students and then by the authors) were collected and analyzed. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of plants on students' performance in classroom, lobby and yard. In the next stages of the research, this experiment was re-examined at different times, thus, the shortcomings of the initial collected data were corrected and the probability of the accuracy of the observations and research information increased. These conditions took place at the Shahed Sanandaj elementary school. The results of this research are the same for all modern schools. All stages of the study were conducted in such a way that the participants unequivocally expressed the level of impact of the plants on the educational spaces in an honest manner. According to the above, during the research, three packets of information, including personal observations of the authors, answers to questions from questionnaires and interviews, documentation and visits that took place with students were classified. The main part of the information collected was observation, and two other data sets were simply collected to validate the main data of the research. After gathering information and categorizing them into two parts of green educational environments and non-plant learning environments, the behavior, activities and attitudes of space users were analyzed and evaluated. According to researches done in this field, laboratory spaces are decorated with a good amount of plants that give a positive result. There were 10 plants in the classroom, 22 in the school lobby and 50 in the yard, and all activities of the children were monitored for 14 days and students' behaviors were examined in different plant settings. All details of the tests and observations were extracted and grouped in tables. Information in this article was gathered through field studies and finally with commentary and analysis of the collected information. A report on the findings is presented in the article. In final assessment based on ideas, that users say and results obtained from the relevant studies have been done. There are many modern schools in Sanandaj. The main goal of this study is to reduce the modern and uniform aspects of the spaces by bringing plants to these spaces.   Result: The results of the research show that the plants play a significant role in the modernization of modern schools. Further, the results indicate that the plants in the educational space are comfortable, beautiful, clean, flexible, good, relaxed, vitality, intimacy and encouragement in the educational environment Increase the sense of control and direct visibility of students. In different educational spaces, it is better to use plants that fit the function of the spaces. In the next step, the plants were classified according to the educational spaces and finally, the limitations of the present research and suggestions for future research are presented. In a general review of the subject, we found that seventy-eight percent of the participants in the plant-based educational spaces considered the space more humane. The initial analysis of the data collected by the researchers showed that the plants are generally efficient in these spaces, but for students with a higher age, this effect is less. The study also found that students have a negative influence on plants that need more concentration and thought, and should not use plants in these spaces, such as the library.   %U https://jsa.uok.ac.ir/article_58080_5201e0f95adbefad33bd231d908e0d06.pdf
