Write a hypothesis (what you think will happen):
"I think that the bullet/duck will fall fastest because…"

Air resistance (a contact force) is caused by an object having to push air particles out of the way when it moves.

A way to reduce an objects air resistance is to streamline it.

This can be done by reducing the surface area of the front of the object so it has to move less particles out the way when it moves (e.g. the nose of an aeroplane).

An object that is streamlined will experience less air resistance (drag) and therefore be able to move faster.
