Elapsed Time Line

There are 2 clocks with minute and hour hands that can be dragged to set a ‘from’ and a ‘to’ time. The time line shows whole hours and 15 minute intervals. You can annotate directly to this using the built in annotation. Using these tools you can demonstrate how to use a time line to calculate how much time there is between 2 given times.
