Energy is transferred in solids by a process called conduction. This means that when one part of a solid gets hot, the heat moves through the solid to other parts. It happens because tiny particles in the solid bump into each other and pass the energy along, like a game of tag. So, if you heat one end of a metal rod, the other end will eventually get warm too!
