Understanding Time on an Analog Clock

This video from MooMooMath and Science teaches how to tell time on an analog clock with three hands: the hour, minute, and second hands. It explains the function of each hand and provides a five-step method to read time easily. The video includes practice examples and concludes with a preview of the next lesson on common phrases used in telling time.
