No apostrophe because it's possessive.  "It's" = "It is"

Nope. No apostrophe in its if it is showing possession. Only in the contraction (it's) do you put an apostrophe. May I ask how old you are? This website is inappropriate for 8 year olds.

Well it's a good thing that you asked. Most kids wouldn't care. Pay attention in English class kids. It's by far the most important class in high school.

Ever heard of google.com? It's really cool, you can pretty much type in any question you have and it will find an answer...

yeah i knew that you put an apostrophe to show ownership and if its more than one you put it after the s. I was pretty sure it went after the s but the computer marked it wrong so i wasn't sure

I must say that is just a little bit obvious. But aslong as your intentions are legit it's all good.
