Narrative:
Student was performing a normal landing after training flight. Power abruptly reduced to idle just before landing flare. Power reduction by student resulted in hard landing resulting in aircraft bouncing back into air. I took control of aircraft and immediately added full power to attempt go around. Without instruction to do so; student retracted flaps completely. High sink rate due to rapid loss of lift resulted in aircraft contacting runway again. Nose gear collapsed and propeller incurred ground-contact damage. No property (with exception of aircraft) was damaged and no injuries occurred.

Title: A BE23 INSTRUCTOR INITIATED A GAR AFTER HIS STUDENT BOUNCED THE LNDG. THE STUDENT RAISED THE FLAPS CAUSING A LOSS OF LIFT AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AS THE ACFT HIT AGAIN.
Narrative: STUDENT WAS PERFORMING A NORMAL LNDG AFTER TRAINING FLT. PWR ABRUPTLY REDUCED TO IDLE JUST BEFORE LNDG FLARE. PWR REDUCTION BY STUDENT RESULTED IN HARD LNDG RESULTING IN ACFT BOUNCING BACK INTO AIR. I TOOK CTL OF ACFT AND IMMEDIATELY ADDED FULL PWR TO ATTEMPT GAR. WITHOUT INSTRUCTION TO DO SO; STUDENT RETRACTED FLAPS COMPLETELY. HIGH SINK RATE DUE TO RAPID LOSS OF LIFT RESULTED IN ACFT CONTACTING RWY AGAIN. NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND PROP INCURRED GND-CONTACT DAMAGE. NO PROPERTY (WITH EXCEPTION OF ACFT) WAS DAMAGED AND NO INJURIES OCCURRED.
