I beat water with an egg beater for 10 mins and the tempeture went from 24 degress celcuis to 28. Why did this happen ?

mechanical energy = motion = friction = heat

The temperature of a substance is really related directly to how rapidly the molecules of that substance are moving. By beating the water, you physically caused the molecules of the water to move more rapidly, probably by causing friction between the beaters and the water, which added heat which made the molecules move faster which is an increase in the temperature...

Yup. Constantly beating water will raise cause the water molecules to move faster. Since temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules, temperature increases as kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
Hope this helps=)

your moving the molecules around and causing heat....
freeze it means your slowing the molecules down....
