Heat conduction is when heat is directly transmitted through contact from one object to another. When two objects of different temperatures make contact with each other they strive to become in equilibrium with one another i.e. at the same temperature. This is done via vibrational energy transferred from the particles in one object to particles in the other. Vibrations which travel through solids in this way are called 'phonons' which is basically a way of quantifying the vibrational energy.
