Heat is thought of as the random kinetic energy of a substance. So if a cup of water gets hotter, the molecules in the water speed up. Heat can cause particles in a substance to move around, to vibrate, or to spin.

Just as with liquids and gases the molecules in a solid will become more mobile if you increase the amount of energy they have, the easiest way to do this is to apply heat.
