Well were in our last year in high school, and it's a requirement that we make a research proposal so we thought of measuring CO2 in the atmosphere by using protocols; cloud cover, rainfall and ph of the atmosphere.

That depends. Are you trying to find the CO2 content of your area, or the atmosphere of the entire planet? The latter would be extremely difficult, as local conditions certainly do not apply to conditions elsewhere; it would require a huge load of premises to be made, and a lot of research. I would, at least initially, say implausable to make a very accurate measurement. Now, if accuracy is not important here, you could make at least an educated guess.
The former, however, is far more plausable. Local measurements you make will reflect on local conditions, and unless you're measuring right next to a factory or a forrest fire, you should be able to make a suitably nice estimate. Just remember, the more data points and measurements, the better.

Why not directly measure it by titration with calcium hydroxide and measuring the calcium carbonate formed?

yes. Every thing is possible.

yes you can.
as nothing is impossible.
