The video demonstrates an experiment with water of different temperatures and densities. High-temperature water with red coloring is less dense and stays at the top when added to room-temperature water, while low-temperature blue water is denser and sinks to the bottom. The experiment is repeated by directly adding water to the bottom of beakers, showing similar results. The video highlights the concept of density differences due to temperature changes.
