Who's is the same as "Who is"
Whose is the possessive form of Who.

Who's is short for "who is", and whose is possessive:
Who's that girl?
Whose house is that?

Who's is a contraction for "who is." Whose is possessive. Whose notebook is this? or Who's ( Who is) going to claim this notebook?

You use who's when you want to say "who is".
Whose is more of a possesion thing. For instance:
"Who's at the door"- there is no possesion involved and you're wondering who is at the door, thus "who's" is the most appropritate.
"Whose pencil is that?"- your wondering of the possesion of the pencil and it would be improper to say "who is pencil is that?" right?
So as rule of thumb, say who is when you put it into the sentence and if it comes out fine then you know it's "who's".
