Your science teacher is planning several cooking activities using a solar oven, which cooks food by using heat from the sun. Clear and scattered skies provide the most sunlight for the oven to use. Your job is to estimate cloud cover at your school over a two week period, in both the morning and the afternoon, to figure out when the oven can be used most efficiently. You or your group need to do the following:

1. You estimated cloud cover on paper with the help of grids. How will you determine cloud cover as you look up at the sky? You need to figure out a method to estimate cloud cover, and then use this same method each day.
