A Space Station monitors the Space Shuttle being launched into space and so forth. And a Space Shuttle, is like a rocket they send into space. So the difference is a space shuttle is a rocket, and a space station is a building.

Basically, they build the space station on the ground first, then they break it into parts small enough to fit in the shuttle, and reassemble it in space. They are still making improvements on the space station today.
A shuttle is launched then docked to the station.
