How could you separate a mixture of iron and aluminum pellets?
Just fill a container with water. The aluminum is light, and less dense than the water, so it will float to the top of the container. The lead is heavy, and more dense than the water, so it will sink to the bottom of the container. You can then separate the two easily.

If something is heavy is it dense or not?
Density is related to both weight and volume, so you have to take both into account. If you have only a small amount of dense material it could still be light, and conversely if you have a lot of material that isn't dense it could still weigh a lot. For example, lead is pretty dense but if you only have a pinhead-sized dot of it, it wouldn't be heavy. Feathers aren't dense, but if you have enough to fill a railroad car their total weight would be significant.
