The video introduces the concept of convection currents using a teabag rocket experiment. It explains how convection is the transfer of heat through fluid movement, using examples like a lava lamp. The video then demonstrates how to create a teabag rocket by cutting and emptying a teabag, forming a cylinder, and lighting it to create convection currents that lift the teabag. The video concludes with a call to subscribe for more educational content.
