It's easier if I say it this way:
Orthodox Jews strictly adhere to the laws and rituals set down in the Torah (the first five books of the OId Testament). You might call them "fundamentalist" Jews.
Conservative Jews believe that the laws and rituals can change with the times.
Reform Jews believe that the individual can choose which laws and rituals to adhere to or not.
Hope that helps!

there are basically 3 levels
orthodox - conservative - reform
orthodox try to keep the bible literally as much as possible
reform do as they please, the bible is an old outdated book that should be in a museum
conservatives are somewhere in the middle they wanna be 'jewish' but don't really want to be bothered with all the awkward rituals that come with the title

in all honesty not much...
conservative Jews say that you should keep some of Jewish law such as Kashrut, the sabbath, etc
in reality less than 8% of their members hold to their own levels
