The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment where a cashew is burned to heat water. Initially, 100 milliliters of water is measured at 20 degrees Celsius. The cashew is then set on fire, and after it burns out, the water's temperature is measured again, reaching 44 degrees Celsius. The change in temperature is used to calculate the calories of heat energy transferred to the water from the burning cashew.
