This is thermodynamics. When you increase the temperature of an object, the particles gain on kinethic energy ergo the move faster. When you decrease it, they slow down. you can slow down only to absolute zero (0K or -273,14°C) at this temperature particles aren't moving in any object.

Very simplistically, the particles move faster when the temperature increases.The temperature of matter is a measure of how much kinetic energy is contained in the material units making up that matter. In solids this is the vibration movements of the molecules or atoms comprising the substance. The more (larger the amplitude) the vibrations the hotter the material. In liquids and gases the particles have translational movement as well, and so they move around faster when they are heated.
