What makes materials conduct?

The strength of the bonds from the nucleus to the electrons allows (or doesn't) the electrons to move from atom to atom (as long as another is on it's way...) Something like Iron (Fe) has very loose electron bonds and is very conductive (heat and electricity) whereas glass has a very strong electron bond and rarely conducts (at the right temperature ANYTHING conducts.)

An object that doesn't conduct heat well is?

Styrofoam is an example of an object that doesn't conduct heat well. Its low thermal conductivity makes it an effective insulator, often used in packaging materials to keep items insulated from temperature changes.
