The video tutorial demonstrates a science experiment where a can is crushed using air pressure. The process involves boiling water in a can to create steam, which pushes out the air. When the can is placed in cold water, the steam condenses, creating a vacuum that causes the can to be crushed by atmospheric pressure. The video emphasizes safety, advising that only adults should handle the hot plate. Multiple demonstrations are shown, and the video concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe and like the video.
