The video tutorial explains how thermal energy moves within an object when heated. It uses an experiment with a metal rod and pins fixed with candle wax to demonstrate heat transfer from a hot region to a cold region. As the rod heats up, the wax melts, causing the pins to fall, visually showing the heat movement. The video concludes with a reminder to subscribe.
