The video tutorial explains how to identify Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers and label the boiling and freezing points of water on each. It describes the Celsius scale, used globally, where 0 degrees is the freezing point and 100 degrees is the boiling point of water. The Fahrenheit scale, mainly used in the US, has 32 degrees as the freezing point and 212 degrees as the boiling point. The tutorial compares the two scales and demonstrates how to identify which thermometer is which by comparing the freezing and boiling points.
