My student and I were conducting flight training in a tailwheel aircraft towards his Private Pilot Certificate. He has 60 hours of dual; including a solo flight; in the same aircraft. The winds at ZZZ were 130 degrees at 6 knots at the time and the runway in use was 18. My student landed and we performed a touch and go. We went around the pattern for our second approach and were cleared to land. After a short landing rollout; the airplane started to weather vane to the left towards the crosswind and he applied the right brake to stop the longitudinal rotation towards the side of the runway. The airplane continued to turn and more brakes were applied; causing it to nose over on the runway. The airplane came to a stop with a bent prop and cowling. We climbed out uninjured and waited for the emergency services to arrive. The airplane was recovered a short time later with no airframe damage.
Cessna 180 instructor pilot reported his student lost directional control after landing and the aircraft nosed over; causing damage to the prop and cowling.
