Heat transfer happens through conduction by means of molecular agitation within the given material. Here, there is no actual motion of the material as a whole. Thus, one of a metal rod at higher temperature transfers energy down the colder part.

Example1: Heat transfer through the wall of a house

Example 2: Metal spoon inside a boiling dish
