Here's how it works:
* Heat energy is the movement of tiny particles within a substance (like atoms and molecules).
* When two substances are in contact, the particles with higher energy in the warmer substance bump into the particles in the cooler substance.
* This bumping action transfers energy from the hotter substance to the colder substance, causing the temperature of the cooler substance to increase.
Examples of Conduction:
* Holding a hot cup of coffee.
* Cooking food on a stovetop.
* Heating a metal rod with a flame.
