See how water moves through a turbine to generate energy.

"Hydro" means water. Hydroelectric power plants, like the one seen here at Lake Red Rock, use the energy from moving water to generate electricity. 

See how solar panels convert sun light into electricity.

The sun creates energy in the form of light and heat. A team of students at Iowa State University used what they've learned about solar energy to build a car that gets its energy from the sun rather than gas.

Wind turbines are much bigger than they seem when they are up close.

If you have ever driven on a highway in Iowa, you are sure to have seen wind turbines in a field. Over the last 20 years, wind energy has become an increasingly utilized alternative source of energy in Iowa.

Energy sources supply things like electricity in your home, and fuel for cars and buses.

The Meskwaki are not the only Native American tribe who live in Iowa. Rather, many different tribes have inhabited the state over time; and some still do! This display at the Iowa State Capitol was created to shine a light on the heritage of Native Iowans.

Check out why the Meskwaki Tribe celebrates with a powwow!
