Alfred is getting ready to eat a bowl of hot oatmeal. when he grabs the spoon to take a bite, it is very warm to touch. which method of heat transfer is responsible for heating the spoon?

Conduction

Explanation: Conduction is the form of heat transfer that occurs on solids. Since there is a difference in temperature between the bowl of hot oatmeal with a higher temperature heat flows to the spoon with lower temperature. The molecules of the spoon absorbs heat causing it to become hot. Heat always flow from hot to cold.
