The competitive equipment is as follows:
Floor - a soft, springy floor for floor stunts. Things like flips, leaps, walkovers, and dance.
Beam - a narrow covered wooden beam a few feet off the floor. Basically all the things you can do on floor, but on a narrow line.
Vault - some kind of pommel horse set up for you to flip over. Doing fault includes having a runway to run around and a springboard, to help propel you into the air so you can flip. You also use the vault to help propel you up and over more.
Bars - shorthand for "parallel bars": two small wooden bars set a few feet off the ground. The one closest to you (when you start from the right place) is shorter. The second bar is set a few feet back and is up much higher. Used for swinging around and flipping off of.
That's my very basic answer.
For women the events/apparatus are vault, bars, beam and floor
For men the events/apparatus are vault, floor, parallel bars, high bar, pommel horse and rings
