Hey!

I hope I helped a little :-)

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
Apparatus is the event you compete, such as the uneven bars, the balance beam, the floor exercise, or the vault.
