When adding or taking away energy, in this case heat, the molecules begin to either speed up or slow down, by doing this it changes its states. So when it gets hot the water molecules begin moving so fast the it changes into gas and evaporates, for ice the molecules contract and don't move much its more of a vibrating movement.
