The video tutorial explains the concept of boiling point and percent error. It begins with Tiffany's experiment to measure the boiling point of water, which she found to be 210 degrees Fahrenheit instead of the expected 212 degrees. The tutorial then introduces the concept of percent error, explaining how it measures the difference between observed and actual values. Using Tiffany's experiment as an example, the video demonstrates the calculation of percent error, resulting in a 0.94% error. The lesson concludes by summarizing the steps to calculate percent error.
