Narrative:
THE STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING TOUCH-AND-GO TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS. ON THE LAST LANDING, THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED AND PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE STUDENT PILOT FAILED TO PROPERLY RECOVER FROM THE BOUNCED LANDING AND THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED ON THE SECOND TOUCHDOWN. THE STUDENT PILOT ELECTED TO TAKE OFF, BUT THE AIRPLANE'S AIRSPEED WAS TOO SLOW. THE AIRPLANE STALLED AFTER IT BECAME AIRBORNE AND STRUCK THE GROUND IN A LEFT WING DOWN ATTITUDE. EXAMINATION OF THE LEFT WHEEL BRAKES AND TIRE SHOWED NO EVIDENCE OF ANY WHEEL BRAKE SEIZING OR BINDING.

Probable Cause: the student pilot's improper recovery from a bounced landing, improper in-flight decision, and his failure to attain the proper climb airspeed during the initial takeoff resulting in an inadvertent stall. The student pilot's lack of total experience, excessive final approach speed, and misjudging the initial flare altitude were factors in this accident.
