This was the first lesson with this student. We planned to stay in the traffic pattern and practice landings. The student preflighted the airplane while I monitored and checked his progress. We taxied to Runway XX and took off entering left traffic. The student had control of the airplane throughout the climb and entered downwind. Abeam the numbers the student put in 10 degrees of flaps and started the descent. On base the student put in 20 degrees of flaps and then he entered full flaps on final. On final the aircraft was just above glideslope so I told the student to take out some power. Once we were over the numbers I told the student to take out all the power. I told the student to increase back pressure to prevent the nose wheel from hitting the ground first. We then hit the ground with our main wheels and bounced back up in the air. We bounced another time and I informed the student that we needed to go-around. The student applied full power; veered off to the left; and pulled back hard on the controls. The aircraft got off the ground again but stalled off the runway and impacted. Once the plane came to a complete stop I told the student to evacuate. He exited through his door and I followed because my door was blocked. I led him away from the airplane until we were picked up. After we were picked up the student and I went to the infirmary to make sure no one was injured. The student and I were released with no issues.
C172 Flight Instructor reports a botched go-around while practicing a landing with a student he had not flown with before. After two bounces the go-around attempt results in a stall and a very hard landing.
