The video tutorial explains the concept of warm air rising through a simple experiment. It begins with an introduction to the phenomenon and lists the materials needed: a clear plastic bottle, a balloon, two bowls, and hot and cold water. The experiment involves placing a balloon-covered bottle in warm water to observe the balloon inflating as warm air rises. When moved to cold water, the balloon deflates as the air contracts. The tutorial explains that this occurs because warm air molecules expand and become less dense, while cold air molecules contract and become denser. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to try the experiment at home and share their results.
