While lectures are a vital component to teaching an undergraduate course in astronomy, there are certain topics which are more efficiently handled in a tutorial setting. In this paper, we discuss the role tutorials can play in helping students understand some of the basic concepts in astronomy by presenting specific examples from a first year astronomy course offered at the University of Toronto. Five activities are described, two of which are excellent examples of the hands-on approach to teaching and learning, and are also suitable to the study of astronomy at the middle or senior high school level.
