When energy is transfered to something which conducts heat, the particles in the solid object start to vibrate. As more energy is transfered to the particles, it spreads across the solid objects particles. The hotter the solid, the more it's particles vibrate.

How does radiation and conduction work?

Conduction: Heat transfer by direct contact, such as from an electric coil on a stove to the pot. Convection: Heat transfer though the air, such as in an oven. Radiation: Heat transfer via waves, such as from the Sun to Earth.
