On which side of the Eiffel Tower do you choose to get in line?
Amanda
Unless you are super motivated and haul yourself out of your warm hotel bed at about 4:00 a.m. to go wait in front of the ticket window, you will most likely encounter a swirl of people and chaos, upon arriving at the Eiffel Tower. At first glance, it will appear that the line is a large endless spiral with no beginning and end. This is because you will actually be looking at two different lines -- three, if you count the line for the restaurant elevator -- that end in the middle and weave underneath and around the exterior of the tower until they eventually virtually either meet up or overlap. The best way to determine the end of one of them is to pick a side, work backward from the ticket window, and follow the line until you get to the end. It doesn't matter which side you choose because everyone eventually ends up in the same place anyway and neither side has an advantage over the other. EVERYONE is dropped off at the second level and herded through another line before boarding the final elevator to the top.

The Eiffel Tower was made out of 1808 pieces of puddled iron that were riveted together. The Eiffel Tower was built for the entrance for the World Exhibition, which was a celebration for the French Revolution. The Tower is now a national momentum of Paris. The many changes include a 160 meter long thermometer attached to the side of the tower, a skating rink on the first floor, a television antenna placed on top of the tower, a meteorology (weather) laboratory at the top of the Tower, and a printing press for a newspaper on the second floor.

How do you make a Eiffel Tower out of paper?
You can just draw out one section of the eiffel tower on a piece of graph paper; then drawing the other two sections on other pieces of graph paper. Then, roll a slab for each side of the eiffel tower. Use a tableknife to cut out the sections from the clay. Cut out 4 pieces of each section for each side of the Eiffel Tower. Score and slip each side of the eiffel tower and put them together. Cover it with plastic and leave it overnight out. Then score and slip the rest of it together. Leave it overnight again. Make sure that the clay is still leather hard, or in the process in becoming bone dry. then incise the lines into the "eiffel tower" you have made. when fired, it will shrink 10%. Remember that when you roll the clay, you roll it to 3/8 of a inch if you want to make it quicker. If you are up to a challenge, you may roll it to something thinner. Make sure that is even thickness and smooth.

What is the effect of thermal expansion in Eiffel tower?
The Eiffel tower is made of metal, which has the property to expand a little when exposed to heat. So as the side of the Eiffel tower which is exposed to sun expands a little, the summit of the antenna atop of the tower moves in the opposite direction. The span of the movement was calculated by Eiffel's team before buiding it, and the move at the very top described an oval of only a few centimeters (the oval could fit inside your dinner plate). That should be even less today as some metal beams most subject to the expansion had been replaced with a different metal to limit that phenomenon and the stress it could put on the structure.
