Convection is heat flow by means of moving matter. It only works in fluids (i.e. liquids and gases).

Conduction is heat flow by means of direct physical contact.

Radiation is heat flow by means of electromagnetic waves. It can work through a vacuum.

Heat always naturally flows from something "hot" to something "cold". This is a form of entropy.

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Conduction transfers heat by direct contact. Convection, is the transfer of heat by movement of the medium, due to difference of density caused by changes in temperature.

What are 3 methods of heat transfer?

Heat (or thermal) energy is kinetic energy due to motion of atoms and molecules. It is energy that is in the process of being transferred from one object to another because of their temperature difference
