With a magnet. Iron filings will be attracted and aluminium will not be.

A magnet will pick up the iron filings, leaving the aluminum filings behind. Iron=magnetic, aluminum=not magnetic

Use a magnet to pull out the iron filings.

First-why,there're filings,sweep them up and throw away.Second-pour water on them and watch the iron filings rust away to powder(iron oxide),then blow ever so slightly to dissperse.Third-if you have a magnet(permanent or electrically induced),use it under or over filings to seperate.Fourth-blow a moist breath on them and after iron changes shine to reddish hue,pick them out with tweezers one by one.

iron filings are magnetic--run a magnet over them.

locate the densities and placed them in a answer that's between the two... attainable salt water, yet thats questionable or you may use a magnet which will in basic terms entice the iron filings
