All substances conduct heat.

and also if it conducts electricity ?

By attaching it to a closed electrical circuit and measuring if there's any current.

are heat and electricty the same thing ?

No, they are not. Heat is electromagnetic (more specifically infra-red) radiation, the kinetic energy of particles, whereas electricity is the movement of charge.
