The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment to test the waterproof properties of different materials using plastic spiders and umbrellas made from paper, kitchen foil, and felt. The experiment is conducted by spraying water on each material and observing the results. The foil is found to be the most waterproof, while the paper absorbs water and the felt allows some water to pass through. Additional testing with a plastic bag confirms its waterproof nature. The tutorial emphasizes fair testing by keeping variables consistent except for the material type.
