The video tutorial introduces a lab activity to explore motion by finding the acceleration and velocity of an object on an incline track. It details the materials required, such as glass marbles and a plastic tube, and provides step-by-step instructions for setting up the experiment. The procedure involves releasing a marble on the track, timing its travel, and recording the data. Observations show consistent acceleration and time across trials, leading to conclusions about motion on an incline.
