This was age 16-18 - I just can't remember what the titrations etc. were all *for*.
Compare a few years later at university, I was tasked with measuring the gravitational constant. (Not 'g' - big G! A version of the Cavendish experiment, with lead spheres and a torsion pendulum.)
Loads of dull measurements, but to figure out a fundamental constant of the universe! My result was imprecise, but accurate - teaching me about the importance of expressing uncertainty...
