In Iowa, people have nothing better to do in winter. So they get together (in a caucus) and decide who they want as their candidate. There is no election by casting and counting votes.
In a primary, individuals of a party go to a voting location, cast a ballot, and the votes get counted. Whoever wins the popular vote in that state, gets the votes at the party convention.
Some states are moving up their primaries so their election is held before the candidate is decided on.
