In matter, atoms are constantly moving, but the speed at which they are moving influences their form. Faster moving atoms are a gas, slower than that is a liquid, and even slower than that is a solid. The colder the temperature, the slower atoms move. As the temperature gets closer to freezing temperature, the atoms slow down in moving more and more. Thus the liquid becomes a solid.

*FYI - The fourth form of matter is Plasma
