What is freezing?

Freezing is when liquid turns into solid, just like how water becomes ice.

Imagine you have a glass of water on the table. Now, put it in the fridge. After some time, you’ll notice that the water has changed, it’s now ice! That’s freezing happening right there. It's like the water is taking a nap and turning into a sleepy solid.

When the temperature gets cold enough, the tiny particles in the liquid slow down and start to stick together. This sticking together is what turns the liquid into a solid. You can see this when you put soda in the freezer, after a while, it becomes a block of ice.

Think about your favorite juice. If you leave it outside during winter, it might freeze! The juice goes from being runny and easy to drink to being hard and icy, just like an ice cube.

So next time you see ice in the freezer, remember: it’s just liquid that took a chill and became solid.
