Take some hot water in a cup and put a silver spoon in it. Leave the spoon inside the water for some time. Now touch the other end of the spoon.
  
Do you feel the heat?
  
 
Reason:
  
It is because heat in the hot water is transferred from one end to other end of the spoon. In solid substances such as silver spoon, atoms are arranged . Hot water molecules which are  transfer the  to the atoms in the spoon and make them .
 
Those atoms make other atoms to  and thus  to the other end of the spoon.
 
Thus, we can define conduction as the process of heat transfer in  from the region of higher temperature to the region of lower temperature .
