Hmm, I wonder. Conduction is all about heat moving through a solid material without the material itself moving. Think of it like a relay race, where a baton, the heat is passed from one runner atom to the next. For example, if you put a metal spoon in a hot cup of tea, the heat travels from the hot end of the spoon to the cool end.

You are holding. Metals are usually good conductors because their atoms pass heat to each other very efficiently.
