Narrative:
With a student flying the airplane; we departed flew several maneuvers; and returned to the field to practice landings. Initially; we were told to expect runway xy. Wind was stated by tower at 17 kts with a significant wind velocity and gust spread so we switched to runway xz. The lesson required short approaches (simulating engine failure); so we make a normal landing successfully; followed by one short approach; which was also successful. We experienced light to moderate turbulence throughout. The student asked for me to reduce the power to better simulate engine failure. I do not usually fly with this student; and assumed this was part of his regular training regimen. A regular gear check was completed on the first two landings; but not the third. This is ultimately; the reason for us landing with the gear up. Contributing to this; I was focused on coaching the student to reach our intended aiming point; distraction due to turbulence; I had not eaten before the flight the aircraft is equipped with an aural warning for gear position. Neither of us recall hearing the warning before touchdown.
