Solid water, or ice, is what happens when water gets cold enough to freeze! When water turns into ice, it changes from a liquid to a solid. This is called a phase change. Ice is important in nature, forming glaciers, icebergs, and even helping to keep drinks cold! Learning about ice helps us understand how temperature affects the world around us and the water cycle.
