Ice is a solid form of water that is formed when liquid water is cooled below its

freezing point, which is 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. When water freezes, its
molecules slow down and come together to form a rigid, crystalline structure.
In liquid form, water molecules are constantly moving and bouncing off of one
another, but as the temperature drops, the molecules slow down and begin to arrange
themselves in a more ordered, lattice-like structure.
The process of water freezing into ice is a physical change, rather than a chemical
change, because the chemical makeup of water remains the same regardless of its state
(liquid, solid, or gas). This means that ice is still made up of two hydrogen atoms and one
oxygen atom, just like liquid water.
On the left picture, I put water in a plastic bottle then I put it in the freezer. After 12
hours, I have observed that the water— a liquid (left picture) — turns to ice — a solid (right
picture). I therefore conclude that water becomes ice when it is cooled below its freezing
point.
