Human Factors
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.
Gear up landing due to pilot error. Series of short field pattern work 2 successful stop and go's. 3rd and final approach resulted in gear up landing.
PA28R instructor and student pilot reported a gear up landing while practicing touch and go landings.
