Narrative:
Upon completing landing for a touch and go; I (the instructor); called out to the student that I was bringing the flaps up and was about to tell him to go full power. The student reached over and put the gear handle into the 'up' position. This caused the nose gear to collapse and the airplane to skid on its nose. The props also struck the ground; due to not having enough clearance now that the nose gear was up.
