When water freezes the molecules come together and become more orderly. When water melts the molecules loosen apart.
The arrangement of water molecules start having their chemical bonds break as ice melts. Hydrogen bonds constantly form and break constantly moving everything out of position.
They are able to move freely.
It's vibrates and then melts
the molecules absorb heat and start moving rapidly changing from solid to liquid
The volume of a beaker doesn't change, it's a beaker. What your were probably trying to ask is what happens to the volume of the ice when it melts. The volume decreases; water is special. Unlike other substances when it freezes it expands. That is why ice floats, it is less dense then water.
The arrangement of water molecules start having their chemical bonds break as ice melts. Hydrogen bonds constantly form and break constantly moving everything out of position.
When a solid melts to become liquid, or a liquid boils to become a gas, the arrangement of particles gets farther apart and less structured, and the motion of the molecules becomes more random and they move faster. The opposite happens when a gas condenses to become a liquid, or when a liquid freezes to become a solid.
Water freezes. Ice melts.

they get farther apart.
An icicle
As the ice melts, the water molecules gain energy, causing them to move more quickly.
They are able to move freely.
It's vibrates and then melts
As a substance melts, the molecules of the formerly-solid substance becomes less structured and drifts further apart.
the molecules absorb heat and start moving rapidly changing from solid to liquid
It turns into water and the molecules becomes less densely packed
