    Conduction, convection, and radiation are three methods of energy transfer. Conduction occurs through direct contact of objects, convection involves the transfer of heat by a fluid like air or water, and radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves like light and heat. Examples of each include heat transfer through a solid, heating of rooms by warm air currents, and the sun warming the earth.
