Ask and you shall receive no need for an upvote. I found the video because I wanted to see it also. Hopefully that's the same video

The video doesn't allow comments so I'm putting my two cents here.

The cards say experiment, but they seem instead to be demonstrations.

If they knew ahead of time what the crow would do, it's a demonstration. If they didn't know how it would behave, it's an experiment.

I'd say it's pretty likely they observed that crows had some kind of understanding of water displacement, and came up with a bunch of tests to see how far they could take it.
