Most liquids, when cooled, will solidify and contract (decrease in volume). Water, on the other hand, actually expands when it freezes into ice. The volume of water will increase by about 9% when it freezes.

When liquids are subjected to lower temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules would decrease accordingly making them closer to each other and leading to a decrease in volume until the substance is solidified. Hope this answers the question.
