Narrative:
The student performed a single engine touch and go from the ILS approach to which we put in an engine failure after liftoff. Performance was negligible (single-engine absolute ceiling equaled the field elevation that day) so I added extra power after the student simulated feather the simulated dead engine. In the downwind the student said that he would wait to put the gear down because of the negative performance. At this point I believe both of our minds put aside the idea of putting the gear down. From there the student made a normal single-engine visual approach. Once over the runway the student put the simulated operative engine throttle to idle. The gear warning horn did not sound and the gear unsafe light did not activate. The student touched down on the runway and we then heard a noise. I immediately shoved both throttles forward and the student executed the go around (I may have also pulled back on the yoke but cannot remember). I then put the flaps down one at a time (full flaps; three notches; was used during this landing) and the student gave me flight controls to do a normal landing. The landing gear came down fine and minimal damage was sustained to the aircraft.
