You can observe the transfer of heat by observing changes in temperature, such as using a thermometer to measure temperature changes in the medium of interest. Other methods include observing changes in state (e.g., melting, boiling) or using thermal imaging cameras to visualize heat transfer.
When the system is in thermal equilibrium.
To form a hypothesis for heat transfer, you could state an educated guess about how a certain factor (such as material type, temperature difference, surface area, etc.) will affect the rate of heat transfer. For example, "An increase in surface area will lead to a higher rate of heat transfer." Be sure to clearly define the variables you are studying and the relationship you expect to observe between them.
The convective heat transfer coefficient of water is a measure of how easily heat can move through water. A higher convective heat transfer coefficient means heat can transfer more quickly. In a system, a higher convective heat transfer coefficient can increase the rate of heat transfer, making the system more efficient at exchanging heat.
Conduction, convection and radiation ;)
The three methods of heat transfer are conduction (transfer of heat within a material or between materials in direct contact), convection (transfer of heat through fluid movement), and radiation (transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves).

Convection - heat transfer through liquids.Conduction - heat transfer through solids.Radiation - heat transfer through vacuum.
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
For conductive and convective heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the the temperature difference; if you double the difference you will double the rate of heat transfer. For radiative heat transfer, the rate of heat transfer is proportional to the difference of the 4th powers of the absolute temperatures.

They're both modes of heat transfer via material media.
convection
There is a special mechanism that controls heat transfer.

Radiation in heat transfer is one of three known modes of heat transfer: conduction (as heat transfer in solids and less effective in liquids)), Convection (as in liquids and gases), and radiation (that not necessarily require a medium for the transfer). Heat of sun is transferred to us in the vacuum space by radiation heat transfer.
