Describe a place where a falling object would feel less drag than it would in your classroom?

A falling object would have less drag than in a classroom in a low pressure environment (higher up) or in a space or a vacuum, but then it's not really falling. Hope this clarifies.

Describe a place where a falling object would feel less drag than it would in your classroom Explain your decision using the definition of air resistance?
If all other conditions (weight and size of the falling object, gravity) are the same, then in vacuum. Explanation - take the falling object to be a feather--> if you drop it in the classroom (which hopefully has some air left in it), it gently falls, moving from side to side (this is the drag, air forcing it to change direction) until it hits the floor. If the same is done in an air-free environment (vacuum), the feather falls straight down and faster, because there is no air to "disturb" it. Now I try to explain the same, taking into account the definition of drag: As drag forces are acting in the direction opposite of the moving object. Therefore, if all the conditions are the same, then in vacuum as the speed of the fall of the object is increased, therefore drag (acting in the opposite direction of the object) has be less than in the air-filled room.

What is an object's acceleration due to gravity on earth?
That varies a bit from place to place, but it's around 9.8 meters/second2.
What does force do to a falling object?
That all depends on the strength and direction of the force. If the object is already "falling", then there must already be the force of gravity acting on it. The effect of any other force will depend on how the strength and direction of the other force relates to the strength and direction of the gravitational force. -- If the new force is directed up, it will slow the falling object, and possibly even make it stop falling and start rising. -- If the new force is directed down, it will make the falling object fall faster. -- If the new force is horizontal, it will make the object move horizontally as well as continuing to fall. -- If the new force is horizontal and strong enough, it will place the falling object into Earth orbit.

How would Aristotle explain A falling rock?
Aristotle would explain a falling rock by saying that the rock's natural place is on the ground, so it falls towards the Earth to reach that place. He would describe it as the natural motion of the rock seeking its proper location.
What is the acceleration of a free falling object due to gravity on earth?
Approximately 9.8 meters/second2. However, this varies a bit from one place to another.
