How to Convert Water Molecules Into Solid Molecules
When water is contained in freezing temperatures, the molecules convert from liquid to a solid state and the water becomes ice. This solid, frozen water is less dense than water in its liquid state. Convert water molecules into solid molecules by placing water in a plastic container such as an ice-cube tray and exposing the container to freezing temperatures.

1
Pour water into an ice-cube tray. Fill to just below the top edge -- the water will expand as it freezes.
-
2
Set a freezer to 0˚C or 32˚ F, which is the temperature at which water freezes.
-
-
3
Place the ice-cube tray on a flat surface inside the cold freezer.
-
4
Wait several hours, giving the water enough time to change from its liquid state to a solid state.
-
5
Remove the ice-cube tray from the freezer. The temperature will have converted the water molecules into solid molecules in the form of ice.
