Definition and mechanism of conduction.
Have you ever left a metal spoon in a hot bowl of soup? After a few minutes, the handle of the spoon becomes hot, even though it wasn't touching the liquid. This happens because of a process called conduction, which is the transfer of heat from the hotter part of an object to the colder part.

Difference between conductors and insulators with examples.
Not all materials treat heat the same way. Materials like metals (such as steel, aluminium, and iron) allow heat to pass through them easily. These materials are classified as good conductors of heat.
