The video tutorial demonstrates osmosis using a rubber egg experiment. It explains how to remove an egg's shell with vinegar, creating a semi-permeable membrane. The egg expands as water from vinegar enters it. Safety precautions are discussed. The experiment is extended by placing the egg in corn syrup to deflate it, and then in water to rehydrate it, illustrating osmosis principles.
