    The motion of the molecules slow down

    Explanation:

    In heating process, increase in the temperature increases the motion of the molecules and hence it gains the kinetic energy and moves.

    While in the cooling process, decrease in temperature reduces the speed or motion of the molecules and that's why during cooling kinetic energy of the molecules falls down.
