The video tutorial demonstrates how to measure the density of mineral hand samples. The process involves two steps: measuring the mass and the volume of the sample. The volume is determined indirectly by measuring the mass of water displaced, as the density of water is known. The tutorial covers the density measurement of various minerals, including sulfur, corundum, quartz, garnet, and galena, highlighting the specific steps and calculations involved in each case.
