Although they both still have the same basic elements (i.e. pencil and lead vs water), there is a physical state change that occurs when you freeze water to make ice. Sharpening/shaving down a pencil only results in a difference of shape and size. It's about the same as ripping paper vs burning paper. Also, freezing water to make ice is a reversible change (you can melt ice to turn it back into water) and shaving a pencil is an irreversible change (you can't sharpen a pencil and then put the pencil shavings back onto the pencil.)
