Keywords
Important words about the topic that
stand out on the page, either in color,
boldface or italic

Dolphins use echolocation to


navigate through the ocean. They
make clicks and whistles to
bounce sound waves off of objects
in the water. As the sound waves
return, the dolphin hears it, possibly
with its teeth.
