Conduction is the transfer of heat from one object to another through direct contact. When a hotter object is placed in contact with a colder object, heat will transfer from the hotter object to the colder object. Examples of conduction are boiling water on the stove and heating a home with radiators.

Conduction is the transfer of energy in the form of heat energy through a medium. The speed of conduction is affected by the type of material in which it is travelling. It is possible to measure the rate of conduction in materials by using a special instrument called a thermal conductivity meter.
