Pro Tip 1/3Physical Movements
Understand that 'conduction' implies movement within a material rather than across different materials.
Metal wires allow for the conduction of electricity within them.
Pro Tip 2/3Scientific Context
'Conduction' is often used in discussions about science, especially physics and engineering.
During the lecture, the professor explained the principles of heat conduction.
Pro Tip 3/3Not Visible
'Conduction' describes a process that is usually invisible to the naked eye.
Despite not seeing it, conduction was warming the entire house through the radiator.

Because your body has many ways of filtering it differently from the outward voice. So to perceive this voice, it first has to travel to your ears. And your outward voice travels through the air while your inward voice travels through your bones. This is called bone conduction.
