No. When water first begins to cool down, it contracts. However, as it gets colder and eventually freezes, it begins to expand.

You can test this by freezing water in a water bottle: when you take it out of the freezer, the cap might have popped off or cracks may have formed in the sides of the bottle.

Answer: Water expands when frozen, not contracts.
