Take a look at the circuit diagram. The clock inputs of the flip-flops are connected directly to Data IN. The output Q0 of the first flip-flop is connected to the T input of the second flip-flop...
Each time you press the pushbutton switch S1, the counter counts up from 00 (decimal 0) to 11 (decimal 3), before it falls back to 00.
Thus you have constructed a synchronous 2-bit counter...
In the next experiment you are trying to build a synchronous n-bit counter, by expanding the chain...
