Ice and cast iron contract upon heating due to the unique properties of their molecular structures. In ice, as it warms, the hydrogen bonds that hold the water molecules in a rigid lattice begin to break, causing the structure to compact before melting. For cast iron, the expansion of the metal's crystal lattice can lead to contraction at certain temperatures, as the arrangement of atoms adjusts. Essentially, both materials experience a decrease in volume when subjected to specific temperature changes, despite the common expectation that materials expand when heated.
