Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between substances. So, non-examples of conduction would be any methods of heat transfer that don't involve direct contact. Here are a few:

* Convection: Heat transfer through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Think of a boiling pot of water - the heat from the bottom of the pot warms the water, causing it to rise, and cooler water to sink, creating a cycle.

* Radiation: Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves. The sun warms the earth through radiation, and you feel the warmth of a fire through radiation.

* Evaporation: Heat transfer through a change in state from liquid to gas. When water evaporates, it takes heat energy with it, cooling the surrounding area.

Examples of non-conduction:

* A microwave heating food: The food is heated by radiation, not direct contact.

* A hot air balloon rising: The hot air inside the balloon is less dense and rises due to convection, not conduction.

* A fan cooling you down: The fan moves air, creating convection currents, which helps remove heat from your body.
