...WHEELBARROW? I NEED SOME HELP WITH MY PROJECT! PLEASE HELP. I WOULD VERY MUCH APRRECIATE IT. THANKS YOU ALL!
 
Gosh, posting for homework help so you can smoke pot with your friends rather than search for it yourself. OK.

A screw is a helical inclined plane. Bicycle is a wheel & axle (maybe a pulley). I think the rest are levers.
 
Well I THINK -

screw-threads
bicycle-wheel and axle
mouse-trap-spring?
can-opener-gears or pulley
wheelbarrow-lever and fulcrum, wheel

I also think the screw itself is a simple machine...
 
I think you mean the "mechanics" of the things you mentioned.

A screw would be something that spirals down to bind something together or into place.

A bicycle uses manual energy to move along.

A mouse traps uses a spring action to actuate the trap mechanism.

A can opener...(you got me there, I don't know how to explain it)

A wheel barrow take manual energy to move a large mass with little effort.

I hope that helps and is what you're looking for.
