Its pretty simple man. A null is an 'invisible object' on its own layer. So it has all attributes of a normal object ie scale rotation etc etc
You can animate your null and then parent as many layers as you want to it, and then further adjust the movements of your parented layers to create complex stuff.
Nulls are also great for animating cameras in the 2.5D space etc etc
Really though, just do a search on it man you'll come up with heaps and find that its a very simple tool.

That's amazing that you are learning After Effects in fourth grade.
Pretty soon the industry will be headed by kids...
Good for you!
