What do these adjust, and how can they be adjusted to take specific shots like indoors or outdoors?
What is aperture?
I've already got shutter speed figured out. Mine goes all the way down to 15 seconds... That is one of the coolest features I've ever seen!

They adjust lens opening, sensor sensitivity, and color temperature. Aperture is the size of the hole in your lens. It's adjustable. If you asked this question seriously, put the camera on auto and shoot. Then go to the library and read.

ISO is the speed of the film. The higher the speed the easier it will to take pictures in low light. However, higher speed film will also result in grainier pictures.
Aperture is how open the lens is when it takes a picture. If it is a lower number, the opening will be larger allowing more light into the camera. Because of this, the picture will have a shallower depth of field. A larger number aperture is a smaller opening and thus there will be a deeper depth of field.
White balance decides what pure white is and adjusts the other colors accordingly.

Kyle's answer is correct, but if you are using a digital camera instead of a film camera, ISO refers to the light sensitivity of the sensor, which you can vary in many cameras. The higher the ISO, the more light sensitive. Unfortunately, the higher the ISO, the more noise artifact in the image...
