Mr. Yeager guides students through a tutorial on using the 'Moving Man' simulation from the University of Colorado Boulder. The video covers understanding distance and displacement, observing speed and velocity, and creating motion graphs. Students are encouraged to follow along, make observations, and complete tasks independently. The tutorial emphasizes careful reading of instructions and understanding graph interpretations.
