Those things always bring instructions but most of them are the same, all you have to do is to remove a cap this have and pee on a white stripe that will become colored once you've peed, then just wait and it will mark if you are or are not pregnant.

 it does come with instructions but if you're just curious and not actually planning to take one, then that wont help you any. it looks like a little plastic thermometer and it has a little bit sticking out the end that looks like its made from paper. that bit on the end is what detects the hormone in your pee that your body releases when you are pregnant. you can either pee on that bit or pee in a little pee pot thing (like what you have to use to take a urine sample to the doctor) then hold the end in the pot for a few seconds (its usually better if its done mid-stream though so you should pee on it).
there is a little window on the test and you just have to wait a couple of minutes and either one or two little blue lines appear. one line means the test has worked and is completed. if the second line appears then you are pregnant. but you get tests now that are more straight forwarding readings and instead of blue lines they literally show the words "pregnant" or "not pregnant".
Dont feel embarrassed that you didnt know. Presumably you have never had to take one so how could you know? Its one of those things you wont know how to do until you have to do it and you read the instructions.

 i'd assume it comes with instructions either printed on the box or on a flyer in side the box.
if in doubt..
