Water into ice

Water turns into ice when it gets below 0 degrees.

The types of matter are liquid, solid and gas. If the water is a liquid the tiny atoms move around really fast and overlap each other. If the water is a solid which is ice the atoms hardly move they only viberate.

So that means atoms slow down when they get colder and when the temperature is above 0*C they speed up. For example ice blocks would be a solid so the atoms would only viberate. With gas the atoms move around really fast because they have lots of energy.
