The video tutorial explains how materials are characterized by their properties, such as transparency, hardness, and texture. It highlights how these properties can be used to group materials and determine their applications. Examples include glass being transparent and hard, wool being soft and flexible, and steel being strong and rigid. The tutorial also discusses the importance of selecting appropriate materials for specific uses, such as using steel for bridges due to its strength, and nylon for umbrellas due to its waterproof nature.
