First it changes from a liquid to a solid. When water reaches its freezing point, it will expand at a rate of about 9%. Almost all other liquids will actually shrink when frozen, but water will expand.

∙ 13y agoWhen you freeze water, it actually expands a little bit. The particles within it slow down due to the decrease in temperature, so they slow down. That is why water becomes a solid when it freezes. On the other hand, when water's temperature increases, the particles speed up.
