Are there any simple drag experiments (one with limited knowledge in physics and expensive equipment) can conduct?
Perhaps one with which involves varying materials.

Drag is a force that acts on an object as it moves through a fluid, such as air or water. It is caused by the resistance of the fluid to the motion of the object.
Drag can be measured using a variety of methods, including wind tunnels, force gauges, and pressure sensors. These tools allow us to measure the magnitude and direction of the force acting on an object as it moves through a fluid.
The amount of drag experienced by an object depends on several factors, including the shape and size of the object, the speed at which it is moving, and the properties of the fluid it is moving through. Other factors such as surface roughness and the presence of other objects in the fluid can also affect drag.
Simple drag experiments can help us better understand the principles of fluid dynamics and how objects interact with fluids. They can also aid in the design and optimization of various structures, such as airplanes and cars, by providing insight into how to reduce drag and improve performance.
Some examples of simple drag experiments include dropping objects of different sizes and shapes into water and observing how they fall, using wind tunnels to test the drag of different objects, and measuring the force needed to pull an object through a fluid at different speeds.
