What does barley look like?
Barley looks very much like wheat. If you've seen a wheat plant before, then barley has often much longer awns (those long things that stick out from the seeds on the seed head) and is often a more yellowish colour. Wheat tends to be more reddish in colour, with shorter awns. The seeds are not clumped together as wheat is, as the seeds are a bit more smoother on the head than wheat. In most barley seed heads, there are less seeds on a barley seed head than on a wheat seed head. See the links below for pictures of barley plants and seed heads and pictures of wheat plants for comparison.

What is the difference between wheat barley maize?
Wheat has a more broader and "coarser" seed head than barley, and the tufts/bristles (called awns) are shorter in wheat than barley. Corn or Maize is a much larger cereal grass, with the seeds on a cob enclosed by a sheath. The awns are very floppy and finer than either wheat or corn. Corn can grow up to 10 feet in height whereas barley and wheat only grow up to 4 feet in height. As far as deciphering individual grains, wheat is darker in colouration than barley. Corn is much different shaped than wheat or barley, having a rounded head as opposed to the sharp oval/diamond shape that wheat and barley have.
