Narrative:
This was the third landing of the morning. My student and I did a 20 degree flap landing at 70 knots. The landing was nice and smooth. My student verbalized that the aircraft was stable on center line after landing. He then verbalized flaps up and cleaned up the flaps. He then verbalized carb heat in; it was at this point that my student retracted the landing gear. The nose gear instantly folded up and the nose collapsed. We then responded to tower's request if anyone was hurt; we weren't. I then shut down the aircraft and we exited.
